About ten minutes with PippaD

PippaD

Strange things go on in PippaD's head. About Ten Minutes with PippaD is PippaD thinking out loud about whatever has caught her attention. Sometimes it's ordinary life. Sometimes it's a question that gets increasingly complicated the longer she thinks about it. Sometimes she just has a story she needs to tell. There'll be random thoughts, ridiculous stories, unnecessary rabbit holes, occasional attempts at philosophy and, for a while at least, the story of what happened when PippaD got cancer. You may be enticed, you may be enthralled or you may just be disappointed, but it'll only take you about ten minutes to find out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The One Where I Got a Tumour

    Strange things go on in my head. I may be thinking about hotel pillows, squirrels and why I have so many Tupperware lids, but can you see the link between them all and what I end up talking about? This week, we're going back to New Year's Eve 2024, when some slightly dodgy blood test results led to an ultrasound, an unexpected discovery in my liver and the beginning of a story I had absolutely no idea I was starting. At this point, nobody had said cancer. I didn't have a diagnosis. I didn't even technically have a tumour yet. I had a lesion, a doctor who didn't seem particularly worried, and quite a lot of previous experience with gallstones. Here is PippaD telling you what happened to her. Unfortunately for everyone involved, PippaD was still PippaD while it was happening. You may be enticed, you may be enthralled or you may just be disappointed, but it'll only take you about ten minutes to find out!

    The One Where I’m Back

    Strange things go on in my head. I may be thinking about WhatsApp messages, ballgowns and cheese, but can you see the link between them all and what I end up talking about? It's been a while. Quite a while, actually. Since the last episode I've changed jobs, lost my mum, had a breakdown, got cancer, had most of my liver removed and, for reasons I still don't entirely understand, become a runner. So I thought it was probably time we had a catch-up. I'm talking about where I've been, why restarting the podcast somehow became A Thing, what happens next, and why there are apparently certain responsibilities that come with being a radio presenter. You may be enticed, you may be enthralled or you may just be disappointed, but it'll only take you about ten minutes to find out!

    An Awkward Coincidence Or Not?

    Strange things go on in my head. I may be thinking about nutcrackers, why I drink so many glasses of water and if I should get a new mobile phone, but can you see the link between them all and what I end up talking about? This episode sees me talk about when situations become awkward... or when coincidences become more than just a series of events. Just listen and let me explain and maybe you'll understand why I can't verbalise this thought too well! You may be enticed, you may be enthralled or you may be disappointed, but it will only take you about ten minutes to find out!

    Health, Fitness and Exercise

This episode sees me talk about fitness and health, why you shouldn't make eye contact at the gym and why I only go running in the dark.
