Summary
Esther and Giles have some exciting news which they share at the start of the episode…
On with the pod:
Do couples have a better chance of staying together if their political views are aligned?
Luckily for Esther and Giles they never discuss politics, they’re far more concerned with being mean and what they’re drinking in the evening. Just as well as Esther keeps her voting habits a closely guarded secret. But why do some couples get sucked into political debate?
If talking politics doesn’t make you sleepy, have you tried being bound, gagged and cuddling up to some terrapins? If you’re not convinced, don’t worry there are lots of other sleep tips - most of which are genuine.
Lastly, it’s bye-bye to the cookbook…about time too.
