Tom UK. ,

Good advice with a sprinkling of confusion.

Just finished listening to the first episode and I really enjoyed the depth of the discussion – they pushed passed all the usual cliches and came up with some genuinely helpful advice for dealing with "the fast pace of modern life". There was also a fair bit of talk that was only really relevant to affluent middle-class Londoners, but it didn't bother me too much.

What did bother me, (and confused and distracted) me, was that throughout the episode, everyone in the podcast mentioned "a previous episode" and said things like "the last time we did this" – how is that possible if this is episode #1 ??? Was there a pilot episode that was never broadcast?
