About Now, here’s a thing…

... is the latest podcast from Tracy Jones and Heather Noble in which they talk about random stuff in the hope that you will find it vaguely interesting. Listen to the random ramblings of a couple of women who are in their second (maybe third?) flush of youth and marvel at the sheer skill it takes to consistently talk crap on almost any subject.[Music by Lesfm from Pixabay] Hosted on Acast.

#57 Gardening and GoodGyms

Heather is expanding her gardening experience with the help of Charles Dowding, her neighbour Brian (secret garden elf) and a calendar gifted to her by her husband. I can't believe she's not watching Gardener's World yet though. Her Friday nights are sorted from here on in. Poorna Bell wrote an inspiring book about women's strength which I can highly recommend but that wasn't my thing this week (although we need to give a quick nod to the inspiring Joan Macdonald). Instead, I focused on GoodGyms founded by Ivo Gormley, where participants combine volunteering with getting fit. Now we're off to lift weights and grow some spuds. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

#56 Raging Grannies, elderly acting and images of women

It's still series 1 and we have no plans to move onto series 2 at any point. It's easier to keep track of how many episodes we have published ;) Raging Grannies captured our imaginations this week thanks to Sharon Blackie, author of Hagitude. Social justice activists who dress up and sing protest songs. Sounds right up our street but there don't seem to be any gaggles in UK and we can't sing (but apparently that's not a requirement). One to think about. Having read an article in The Guardian about a rocket scientist who started acting professionally in her 60s, Tracy was interested to understand what drew Heather to acting at a more mature age (apologies for title Heather, I am not suggesting that you are elderly, honest!). I am hoping that Heather doesn't read this blurb.... Heather's thing is an article with 38 images that change the way we see women, for better and for worse. Of course images don't lend themselves to podcasts, but she has a good attempt at describing these Protestors, Popstars and Pioneers. And then Heather wondered who decided that a sandwich and crisps is THE lunch food? And when did that happen? Beware nostalgia incoming. Right. Let's revolt! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

#55 Reading and Swedish Death Cleaning

In the absence of any credible preparation by Tracy on account of her being totally pre-occupied by a book she's reading, what and how we like to read is the first subject we explored this week. If any of you know what a "novel reader" is, as referenced in the actual novel "Spellbreaker", then please do contact either of us on social media. So far we have drawn a blank. And Heather brings up the subject of Swedish Death Cleaning which she read about this week. She did some actual prep work. Nice one. Finally, Tracy identifies Heather as a psychopath because of an uneaten chocolate bunny sitting on her desk! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
