Gdayall Podcast Phil & Barbara

I just discovered which stone represents 100 years? It's a frickin' 10 carat diamond! No wonder nobody makes it that far as a wedded couple. When it comes to podcasts, 100 is a little easier. As so here we are... 100. Time to simply reflect.Phil and Barbara walk their way through the long list and remember, as best they can, what they enjoyed most. They take a quick look at some of our favourite artwork. We think episodes 7, 8, 32, 40, 49, 72, 82 and 89. That's not such a great thing on ...

Six episodes ago we had Phil's Trip, this time it was Barbara's turn. A world wind trip see's us get patched into her old bedroom for this week's pod. So just what might be the observations of a Californian who has not been home for 5 years. She has taken the responsibility of research seriously and has a lot to say. We also hear from a couple of co-workers who pop up (in both countries). Plenty of laughs, a few 'special guest' food reviews as well as the regular segments. Also big ...
