It's a Drama Podcast
A husband and wife comedy podcast hosted by world traveller and best-selling comedy author Liz Deacle and her partner-in- crime, husband, Brian. The couple talks candidly, hilariously and honestly about travel, family, food and trying hard to get through the second half of life in one piece... Expect frank and funny chats as well as wine, laughter and the occasional leak of urine.

We're back, from our sunny Naousa balcony, on the Greek island of Paros, Greece, where we're staying for a month with our two young adult kids for the summer.
In this episode, we share everything from mouth breathing to juggling money stresses, ageing bodies, emotional outbursts, and the messy, muddled brain that is (probably) caused by too much Ouzo.
Liz left her husband Brian and went off to spend a month in Paris with her daughter. The dream Paris trip.
As is often the case, things went in the opposite direction from what she expected. Not in a bad way, though, in fact, things went in a very good way.
Her time in Paris brought up thoughts and feelings around the grief of l...
What if the hardest part of being real… is letting people see it?
We almost didn’t record this. The voice in my head said: Don’t show too much. Don’t be too much.
But I’m tired of that voice.
Tired of searching for safety instead of being it.
If you haven't yet joined my inner circ...
Greetings from Athens, Greece! This week we're sharing the story of Brian’s recent (and very excitingly epic) Norway road trip — a bucketlist journey to the very tippy top of Norway to spend time with his two favourite people and witness the midnight sun.
Along with our son (Sonny) and his brother (Dave), Brian has just driven thousands of kilometres, slept in beds around the country, and let the ...
If you've ever wanted to leave everything behind for a year, throw caution to the wind and get on a plane with nothing but a suitcase and a one-way ticket to Europe, then you will love this episode.
After much (hardly any) planning and lots of cleaning, it is time for the Deacle family to leave New Zealand and head overseas for an adventure.
This husband and wife, and their two young adult kids, have rented their house for a year a...
In this episode, we share how we make a year-long trip happen.
Enjoy!

People think it's easy to up sticks and travel the world for a year.

This is the first episode in a season of what we might call the couple diaries. Or the marriage diaries. Or just... It's a Drama.
At the end of this podcast, Brian and I share a personal diary entry (without the other one knowing).

This walking podcast is a taste of the content we publish to our Patreon supporters. We wanted to share it with you, too, to take you behind the scenes and hear us talk about a mistake Brian (and I) made on YouTube and our decision to publish that cock-up to the world.
We also talk about feeling super vulnerable when you get hard-hitting comments and discuss the importance of remembering not to take thi...
Friday was a day of love and affection.
VD.
Not the down-below disease, the day. Of love. Valentines Day.
Rather than buy Bri some crappy scented candle and a bottle of cheap rum (that, more often than not, gets thrown into the pepper sauce come April), I tried something new.
I booked us a couples "experience".
We went last week.
Went and did it.
That's all I'm saying.
Enjoy.

It was my birthday, so I booked a surprise trip for me and Bri.
I googled New Zealand cheap accommodation. Best places to stay in New Zealand. Real New Zealand adventures.
Then I put in my whopping budget: $99 a night.
This is what we got. This is where we stayed.
Sit back, relax and listen to our experience of this insanely cheap Kiwi getaway.
And our fondue fiddles.

It's the little things, isn't it? The little things in life that give you the most grief.
Remove those stresses and...Bingo. Life is wonderful.
So why did it take us thirteen years to find this out?
This episode shares how we have suffered for the last thirteen years. Been held hostage in our own home.
Terrifying.
Oh, and we also share how Liz made a complete idiot of herself in a public toilet.
Enjoy!
Love you guys!

Last month, I boldly said I wanted this family holiday to Canada to "fix" me.
Fix was the wrong word. You can't fix grief. But what you can do is decide how you want to move forward with your life after such a massive loss.
This episode is for you if you feel stuck, sad, helpless, desperate, scared of never being the person you once knew or all of the above.
Our hope is this behind-the-scenes episode will bring you peace, hope, co...
