Limited Time Only

We're already half way through Season 2 - where does the time go?! And how did we get here? This week, Susie & Esther consider these existential questions along with the prospect of ripping everything up and starting again. Attractive? Terrifying? Both?

This week's episode is dedicated to the programmes and films that have accompanied Susie & Esther, and the lovely LTO listeners, through their lives.

Hugely talented & versatile, Sarah's CV reads like a copy of the Radio Times and she has wor...

This week Susie & Esther shove their inhibitions aside, and chat jiggly bits.

As they grow wiser, they grow less able to make any sudden movements without fear of injury. Despite their shortening muscles and receding gums, Esther &am...

NB There may be one or two swears in this ep.  It's the final episode of Season 1 and Esther & Susie are all about the hits and giggles. Hits of both the adrenalin and popular music variety. And all the giggles they can get. Susie is feeling a bit worse for wear. No, she hasn't been carousing - she's been carouseling. And Esther allows us a peak inside her subconscious where an unexpected visi...

This week, Esther & Susie discuss the perils and merits of social media (aka SM; Social; the rabbit hole you get sucked into when you should be doing something useful).
