Terrible at packing? Always bring too many things and eight pairs of high heels ‘just in case’? Tessa once tried to fly to Jersey from Edinburgh with a big bag full of wet clothes, and Stevie spent seven years dragging around an old vintage suitcase with no handle so the one way to push it was to crouch down beside it. With some top tips from professional packers, they learn how to pack like the pros. Recorded by Ben Williams and edited by Naomi Parnell for Plosive Productions.

Hate the heat? Can’t stand cropped tops? Hate wasps? Stevie despised summer until very recently, whereas Tessa is like a plant.

Finding the lockdown ease incredibly stressful? Stevie and Tessa are too. And with the rules continually changing, and friends acting in all different sorts of ways (some aren’t comfortable in groups yet, some went to illegal raves) how do you navigate it without exploding? This week we look at how to destress and stick to your guns - whether your guns are isolation or holidaying in Spain.  NB the rules we mention are right at the time of recording, but check the government website for the most recent guidelines for your area Recorded and edited by Naomi Parnell for Plosive Productions.

Did you know that being sensitive is actually a GOOD thing? Stevie and Tessa have learned that it’s a bit of a superpower. They do the sensitivity test (and score 100%) and look at how to navigate today’s society when you’re liable to cry on a bus because you saw a nice dog.

Stevie and Tessa have been doing a lot of reading about how to be better allies, and discuss what this means for the benefit of anyone with privilege who might be feeling confused and lost. While many of you may be further along the path, this covers the very basics that they both found really helpful in the early stages of “unlearning” and practising allyship towards any marginalised community.  Recorded by Ben Williams and edited by Naomi Parnell for Plosive Productions.

Stevie and Tessa dream about getting a puppy. Actor, writer, performer and their very good friend Liz Kingsman (Borderline, Parlement, King Gary) just bought Emmett the Cockapoo. She shares what she’s learned, what to prep, how much they wee and the weird thing about chew toys you didn’t know about. Genuinely fascinating stuff and also visit Stevie's Instagram for some top pictures of Emmet being adorable during the recording.  Recorded by Ben Williams and edited by Naomi Parnell for Plosive Productions.

Hopeless in the kitchen? Afraid of the oven? Deeply suspicious of the hob? So are Tessa and Stevie but now they’ve slowly, slowly, slowly, managed to teach themselves a few things. Although they are still not experts so expect tips like “buy a big knife” and “get one of those pans you know the flat one”.

Tessa maintains she has never been wrong in her life. Stevie gently attempts to dismantle this while coming up with expert advice on how to go about saying sorry.

This week, watching the protests happen across the world in response to the murder of innocent black man George Floyd by white police officers, we didn’t feel we could add anything to the conversation. Instead we’d love you to listen to voices more important than ours right now, to the podcasts we’re listening to as we try and learn, educate ourselves and do better.

Tessa and Stevie take live questions over YouTube about everything from how to survive your first job and how to appear more confident to how to follow your dreams (even if they’re scary).
