Nobody Panic
How to Be a Good House Guest
Ep. 218
•
Do you keep your shoes on? What if they leave you alone with their dad who’s silently watching golf? Stevie and Tessa tackle these questions and more, though they do spend far too long on the shoe one as it turns out both of them have deep trauma (Stevie of her bare feet and terrible socks, Tessa on the concept of asking guests to keep their shoes on. It’s a lot)

304. How to Let Someone Down
24:39||Ep. 304Nobody Panic is going on a brief hiatus and Tessa can't stop crying every time it's discussed, so Stevie and Tessa deep dive into how to let someone down (even if you're not actually letting them down, but you just FEEL like you are). We'll be back soon everyone! In the meantime, why not check out our frankly outrageously extensive back catalogue?Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

How to Unlock Your Creativity
35:38||Ep. 303Think you're not creative? You are. Every human being is creative in some way! Tessa has been doing The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and Stevie has been doing Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and they both discuss how to get the creative juices flowing in any field. Metaphysical field, you don't need to be sat in a meadow.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

34:46||Ep. 302Stevie realises she has fundamentally misunderstood the concept of the fridge dial in this rollercoaster of a journey through organising your fridge. She thought this would be quite straightforward but, as ever, it turns into an emotional excavation of the Self (and whether you should put ketchup in the cupboard or not).Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

How to Plan a Wedding - Part 1
40:24||Ep. 300Tessa's getting married! She's also planning a proper wedding with generators and a marquee, so has lots of advice for anyone about to wade into the admin hell. And also has inadvertently set up an entire company purely to buy plates a tiny bit cheaper. Maybe don't follow that piece of advice. Or do? Who knows.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

34:39||Ep. 299Friends having babies? Not sure what to take round when you go to meet the new baby? Stevie put a callout on Instagram and there was a real consistency with the answers. In fact there's essentially only one thing new mums want and let us tell you, it's not an ornate Victorian hot air balloon (this is what Tessa took round to her friend).Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

How to Stop Reading a Book
31:26||Ep. 298You’d think this was fairly straightforward, so why is it so hard to admit defeat? Why do we use words like “admit defeat” when discussing a book? The book doesn’t know you’re not reading it! Stevie had these epiphanies recently, after pretending to read Crime and Punishment for circa 25 years, and Tessa is eager to learn.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

How to Use the Washing Machine
32:12||Ep. 297By request, Stevie and Tessa discover what the triangle symbol means and discuss what the drawers mean. There's also some lively debate around when you put the fabric conditioner in, don't say this podcast doesn't provide you with the most searing of hot content.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

35:41||Ep. 296If you or anyone you know is running the London marathon (or any marathon) and would like to feel much better about your training: Tessa ran two marathons, one without much training and one without any. She didn’t die, she was quite angry at herself the second time, but this is crucial listening if you’re fed up of high performance sports podcasts and wish to listen to someone who has gone through many people’s (Stevie‘s) worst nightmare and come out the other side.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?
