Welcome to the world of our vocal, sometimes irreverent tribute to all the sounds, music and otherwise that made things better as well as some talk about brains/emotions and also Moomins, France and Hamsters as regular nonsense topics. Please check any content warnings for individual episodes as we do talk about challenging times and touch upon themes that can be triggering for others.

    If Not For The Music, Go For The Cat..

    Content warning ** there is one reference to suicide in this episode. Hellllooooo, we are just popping in to say we are alive....just and holding on to our sanity...just.. We don't focus on any particular theme for this episode, of course we touch upon music and its right to soothe, but yes, there is also Hamster talk, and some ill informed guesswork around exchange rates, because that is the kind of tangent we are liable to go off on. Sorry but also not sorry because let's face it Parisians are never sorry. (also some French reference's too, obvs) We will be back with our next guest at the end of October.

    Bonus Minisode: It's Pronounced KEELEEAN

    We will be back soon with another great guest and full episode but in the meantime here's another Izzy vs AI and this time what was supposed to be a informative discussion about how those loveable but slightly bitey small rodents, Hamsters, may or may not respond the music descends into a fascinating insight into Izzy's favourite pastime and absolute rage fest about the pronunciation of legendary tour de force academy award winning actor Cillian Murphy's name.

    Episode 7 - Hope and Hamsters - with Dr Lauren Speeth

    Welcome! We apologise for the delay and for clarity there is no compensation on offer but you do get to hear us talk with the most wonderful Dr Lauren Speeth on her work in the area of music for hope and healing. Her bio is so extensive we can't note it below as we would no doubt run out of characters, so do check out the links below to learn more about Lauren and the great work she does. As usual, Becky and Izzy catch up in the last half to talk torrid times, tariffs and somewhat unexpectedly segue from Jeff Bezos's problematic spaceship to Hamsters and of course we also name check some recent music must haves doing it for our own mental health. Note: our website is being revamped and we will soon have a new email, if you'd like to comment, send us croissants or get involved then please DM Izzy through the podcasts insta account - link below!
