The Normal Effect The Normal Effect

In this episode, Marlie and Lee have invited their partners on to talk about Happy, Sad, Embarrassing and Normal times within a relationship (that you go through together). In typical couple fashion, there's moments of shared care and moments of disagreeing :-). We hope you enjoy this final episode of the series.
(Sorry about the constant hum in the background. There was some work going on outside).

Both Marlie and I work with George and she is one of those people that can lighten your day.....with something hilarious coming out of her mouth. In this episode, we get that in many ways (especially in talking about sex), but we also get heart-wrenching seriousness in spades. Her openness was admirable and I really hope people can relate.

What a blast this was! Jen is a very charismatic character, which you'll hear from the get-go, but this episode really goes from high energy to serious energy when it needs to. A fascinatingly wonderful woman and we hope you enjoy hearing her as much as we enjoyed recording with her.

If you're in touch with your emotions, you may want to grab a tissue as our very own Marlie sits in the hot seat this week and talks very openly about her life and the struggles that came with growing up. Of course, we go into other silly topics - even talking about bogeys......nothing but maturity here folks!We also welcome Marlie's partner and Lee's Brother (same person!) as our 'Ghost Host' and within minutes, you get to see what their relationship is like.Enjoy!

The ever-popular delight that is Elaine ('The Pain') comes in to talk about times in her life that have been very up and very down. Here, we talk about the value of having a close family, the sadness of loss, and the funniness of being caught in a lift with someone you've just embarrassed yourself in front of.

Through talking about his 'Happy', 'Sad', 'Embarrassing' and 'Normal' times, Brunnie shows us what we're capable of when life gets really tough. Self-reflection really comes through in this episode and we think it's a great listen - especially if you're a young man struggling.
