We've reached the final episode of Season 4! Can you believe it?! But in THIS final, we're all winners. Susie & Esther discuss comedy - with a natter about what makes them laugh. And a few fart jokes. They may appear to be intelligent, mature and sophisticated (ahem) but they love a dollop of good old toilet humour. And rude words.
This ep's special guest is multi award winning British comedian and writer, DOM JOLY.
Dom's route to comedy legend is a surprising and fascinating one. Born in Beirut, Dom went to school alongside Osama Bin Laden. Yes you heard that correctly. He speaks several languages, regularly played bridge with Dido, before she was famous, and sold his home to Salman Rushdie. He was a Diplomat in Prague and a political producer for ITN in Westminster, interviewing politicians until an unfortunate incident with David Mellor and a football led to him getting sacked.
After this, his career took a different direction and in the early 2000’s his hidden camera show TRIGGER HAPPY TV landed on Channel 4 and become an instant cult hit gaining him a dedicated fan base. Now an acclaimed travel writer, Dom has written and toured several books including THE DARK TOURIST; CONSPIRACY TOURIST; and SUCH MISERABLE WEATHER and has travelled to over 100 countries. Dom Joly - the Conspiracy Tour is visiting multiple venues in the UK in Sept/Oct/Nov this year.
S & E talk to Dom about the serendipitous moments in his life and his willingness to push boundaries; what his biggest piece of advice is; and getting arrested. He's a fascinating and very funny man, and the resulting conversation is a treat to listen to.
Along with a bumper crop of sketches, extra chats and plenty of surprises this final episode of the season will hopefully raise a lorra lorra laughs. The gals will be back in the autumn for SEASON FIVE!!!

It's summertime! Or so we're led to believe. Susie & Esther swap summer tips, and also cover sunburn, tanning and why everything sounds better in the sun. They also cover their incredibly pale legs, arms and pretty much every other bit of their bodies to avoid blistering...
This week's special guest is actor, director, mentor, and award-winning motion capture legend, Neil Newbon. Starting out as a young actor, Neil was a member of the Central Junior Television Workshop and the National Youth Theatre. His career has been wide and varied, featuring leading roles in Hollyoaks and Dream Team, and an appearance in the beloved Goodness Gracious Me "Going for an English" sketch.
Neil is best known for providing the voice and motion capture for numerous video game characters, including Karl Heisenberg in Resident Evil Village and Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3. For his work as Astarion, he won Best Performance at the 2023 Game Awards.
Neil is also the co-founder of the training facility Performance Captured Academy, which offers courses for actors on the many voice work, motion and performance capture.
We talk to Neil about when he first knew he wanted to act, his journey into mocap, and what his work in Games means to him.
With comedy sketches, bonus chat and a some very sweet singing, this ep will get you in the summer mood. Just make sure you've slathered on the Factor 50 before you listen.

Soul Searching - As the great Bryan Adams once sang 'Search your heart, search your soul...' (a song featured in the greatest film of all time according to Susie) and this week, the gals are encouraging you to do the same.
Their special guest is the fabulous LINDSAY MACK. Hailed as “one of the most important new voices in the world of modern spirituality and wellness,” Lindsay Mack is a queer, non-binary, neurodivergent intuitive artist, Tarot teacher, writer, mother, and the founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul®. Tarot for the Wild Soul is an online Tarot school that has helped tens of thousands of students learn how to read Tarot for anything that arises — to show up to their decks in the present moment, and engage with them as integral helping tools in difficult, or challenging situations. Lindsay's podcast of the same name is the world's top ranking Tarot podcast with over 7 millions downloads and counting! Susie & Esther chat to Lindsay about how their Tarot journey began; their soul-centred approach to Tarot and belief that there are 'no bad cards'; and how each Tarot card is 'an opportunity to grow and expand through life's challenges and contractions'. We also find out what's next for Lindsay with some lovely opportunities to engage with Tarot for the Wild Soul coming up... (see links for more details). It was a great pleasure to welcome Lindsay to the show and the resulting chat is a delight.
With comedy sketches, bonus chat and a panoply of surprises, soul searching is even more fun than Bryan made out.

We stand at the end of Season 3 (for an ovation, right?!) This week's episode is all about being your best self and whatever that means to you - one gal's seaswim is another gal's sticky toffee pudding and a good book. Esther & Susie discuss themselves (for a change...) and Susie reveals some worrying gaps in her knowledge of how bodies actually work.

Esther and Susie go Back to the Future and get high on 80s nostalgia in this week's episode of LTO. There are no Careless Whispers as these Uptown Girls try Holding Back the Years, and Relax with memories of the decade that gave us Roland Rat, Wacaday and Agadoo. Let's travel back in time Together In Electric Dreams. Lovely jubbly.
The gals are joined this week by a very special guest. Singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music legend Andrew Roachford MBE @roachfordmusic scored his first hit in the 80s with his band, Roachford and the timeless classic, Cuddly Toy. He hasn't stopped producing incredible music and released his most recent solo album in December 2023. Andrew also sings with Mike and the Mechanics. He received his MBE in 2019 for services to music. He chatted to E&S about music as communication; how he composes; and what it felt like to hang out at Buckingham Palace, and to perform in front of thousands at Wembley. It's a heartfelt, open and honest conversation, with plenty of giggles and a surprise guest appearance from his lovely mum's phone! It's treat to be in Andrew's company. Look out for live dates coming up later this year - roachford.co.uk
With a sketch that will take you back, and a social media roundup of the most responses we've ever had (even though none of our listeners are old enough to remember the 80s...), this 'Nostalgia' special is Atomic and we hope you'll say I've Had The Time of My Life once you've heard it and a 'lorra lorra laughs'

In this week's episode Esther & Susie showcase talents even they didn't know they had. And they probably don't. Let's just say, Eminem does NOT need to worry... They discuss talent v success, and if baby is born with it or if it's maybe-learnt. Again, Eminem does not need to worry!
Thankfully someone with a tangible talent is their special guest this week. Namely, musician Sam Sweeney. Sam has been described as 'one of the defining English fiddle players of his generation' (Mark Radcliffe) and this was cemented when he won Musician of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award in 2015 - his fourth time of being nominated. He is a veteran of folk juggernauts, Bellowhead, former and inaugural Artistic Director of the National Youth Folk Ensemble, a founder member of ground-breaking trio Leveret as well as a passionate and experienced educator. He has collaborated, recorded and performed with The Full English, Eliza Carthy, Martin Carthy, Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings, Fay Hield and Emily Portman as well as creating his own theatre production Made In The Great War. Sam’s first two albums, The Unfinished Violin (Island Records) and Unearth Repeat (Hudson Records) were received with international acclaim. Sam is currently touring his third solo album, Escape That - tour dates.
Sam's chat with the gals is wide-ranging and hugely entertaining. He tells them about joining the biggest folk band in the world aged 18, and how it feels to rock (folk) out at the Royal Albert Hall. He talks about his experiences in movies - Disney's live action 'Little Mermaid', and Richard Curtis's 'About Time'. There are some super questions from our wonderful listeners, and, as an extra treat, Sam performs live on the podcast! LTO's first live musical performance and it is magical. (Sam is available to tour when you need him, Arcade Fire - just putting that out into the universe!)
With sketches, live music, surprising rapping and a joyful interview, this is an episode to savour. We hope you enjoy it!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussions about death and grief.
This week Susie & Esther turn their attention to mortality. They discuss attitudes to death and mourning, and spend considerable time imagining the spectacular nature of their own funerals. Let's hope the Royal Albert Hall is available on the day...
The special guest is SARAH GWONYOMA. You may know Sarah from her Instagram platform, @WhatSarahReadNext, where she reviews books, interviews authors and generally brings a lot of joy. The catalyst for this platform were some unimaginably painful life changing events. In 2017, whilst living in Fiji with her husband and young son, Sarah, having just suffered a twin miscarriage, lost her brother and her husband both unexpectedly, just months apart. Follow this up with a global pandemic and this led to Sarah reevaluating her life and her work in International Development. Now Sarah is back in the UK and living by the coast with her son, and What Sarah Read Next is an inspiring community for book lovers. Sarah is also working on her own book and has just launched her book club WHAT WE READ NEXT in association with the Hastings Bookshop
The gals talk to Sarah about her resilience and positivity, how she has taken care of herself and her son through these experiences and the plans she has for her community. She's an inspiring woman and it's an honour to welcome her to LTO.
With Sarah's energy, plus sketches, laughter and the promise of a sea swim, this episode is far from bleak. We hope you enjoy it.
