Decidedly chuffed this week because a great UK comedy podcast I listen to,
Nobody Panic, has done an episode based on a suggestion I sent in: How To Swallow a Pill. Personally I'm hopeless at swallowing pills, and Tessa, one of the two hosts, had mentioned that she's the same a while back. I hasten to add that this podcast is the *exact opposite* of medically qualified advice! The scene is deftly set when Tessa, introducing her pill-based affliction, also mentions to her compatriot Stevie that she's "also never had a coffee" and then NEVER MENTIONS IT AGAIN. Highly entertaining medication-centric chatter, and there's the added bonus of a wild story about Tessa's mum's submarine iPhone, plus Tessa's valiant attempt at a NZ accent.
(For guidance on the tricky NZ accent, consult
Flight of the Conchords or that episode of Taskmaster when Rose Matafeo was
mocked ruthlessly for pronouncing shed as 'shid'. It's not our fault, we're a long way away from everything & our vowels have slid around a bit).
