Welcome to the Bedtalks Podcast Show Episode 1. We've decided to revamp the podcast with some fun tunes and "interesting" talking points. In this episode... ...Matt changes a nappy ...Tam blows her nose ...aaannd we vent our anger at "resealable" packaging.
The Big Announcement! - Opal Fe arrived at 6:55am on 27th Jan. She is PERFECT! In this episode we shed some light on how she arrived into this world during a Covid crazy time. Family and Friends unfortunately cant come and visit at the moment so we thought this would be a great way to share Opal's Birth Story. Warning: There is some graphic verbal imagery.
Often it can be the negative voices that ring the loudest. This seems to be none more so prominent than whilst going through the pregnancy journey. We have been told a lot of things about starting a family. In this episode we chat about how we try and stay positive.
A bedtalks podcast festive special! Have you ever wondered why the tree? why the baubles? and why the gifts? Well, in this episode we talk about our families Christmas traditions, the root of these "rituals" and which of them, if any, we want our baby to grow up with.
Its Tammy's turn for an interview special. In this episode Matt asks Tammy some deep questions, some naive questions and some out right silly questions.
An interview special! In this episode Tammy asks Matt about all things dad related. What is he worried about? How does he think becoming a father will change him? Can he cope with the relentless stench of baby poop? Have a listen to find out the answers to these questions and more!
We're back! Bump is growing. And Tam is now almost 6 months pregnant. In this episode we chat about our fears of becoming parents, the life balancing act and our highlights of the pregnancy journey to this stage.
Spoiler Alert! In this episode... -Matt gets emotional -Tammy needs a pee ...and we find out that we are going to be having a baby girl!
In this episode we continue to talk about the joyful and challenging moments of the pregnancy journey. Tammy is now half way through! We look back over the amazing last 3 weeks. A lot has happened. We had all of our family up in Scotland, for the very first time, to celebrate our baby shower and baptism. Hence the title. There was a lot of champagne...and elderflower cordial for Tammy.
In this episode... -we talk alot about poop -Matt drops a flingo bone -we share a few stories from our childhood and chat about how we would respond to them as parents.
Talks, Tears and Tantrums. The Story of the first trimester.
It's been pretty quiet on here recently. Sorry for that. Let's just say we have been very, very busy...if you know what we mean. In this episode... Matt gets some fresh air. Tammy talks about the birds and the bees. ...and we make a very special announcement. Oh yeah and we are also going to try our best to put out a new episode every two weeks following our exciting new adventure.
Its the End. The end of our series dedicated to the 5 love languages. But don't worry, with Bedtalks Podcast its always a happy ending! In this episode we talk about a few of our highlights form the series, which love language we relate to most and, for some reason, Pirates of the Caribbean.
The 5th and final love language - Words of Affirmation. "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Really though?! What are you thoughts on this quote? Have a listen to see what Tammy and Matt think.
Lights. Camera. Acts of service! The 4th love language of The Quickies series. Tammy and Matt discuss Gary Chapman's quote "the object of love is not to get something that you want, but it is to do something for the wellbeing of the one that you love." Maaaaann thats deep!
Its starting to get a wee bit touchy feely. We chat about the love language of physical touch. The reasons its great, the issues that can arise when its misused and we also unpack a few interesting studies into the science of human touch. All in just over 10 mins.
Anyone keen for a quick one? Weeelll, you've come to the right place. Its quickie time. Tammy and Matt continue talking about the 5 love languages and how they relate to each one. Todays topic of conversation is all things time. Is how you spend your time more important than how you spend your money?
Gifts! We all like receiving gifts don't we?! Previously we both believed that giving and receiving gifts may have actually been our least valued love language. However after discussing the statement "only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have" we really had to have a rethink. We finished by asking the question "what gift have you received that meant the most?"
If you are anything like us you find listening to a Podcast that is any longer than 15mins a bit too much of a commitment. You'll be happy to learn we have decided to do a shorter series, aptly named "The Quickies". In this series we will be going into detail, but not too much detail, about the 5 love languages. Time, Touch, Words, Gifts and Actions. We believe these 5 languages are vital to a healthy relationship, not just between couples but also between friends and family.
In this light hearted episode... Matt sums up every Rom-Com ever, in one sentence. Tammy defends her passion for musicals. annnnnnd they attempt to answer the question "how have films shaped their relationship."
This is the very first Bedtalks Nanovella. The concept is to merge together a musical theme and a spoken story to create an immersive experience which will take you to a dream-like world. What is the clearing? Why is he going there? What will he find? A lot can be said in a few words, but the rest of the story is up to you. Send us a message via Facebook or Instagram if you want more. We recommend that you wear headphones.

In this episode... Matt gets the runs. Tammy says "no hablo espanol" ...annnnnnd we almost burn our house down during recording. What are the differences in culture between the Philippines and the UK? How do these contrasts affect our relationship?
What is it like being a young couple? What are the stigmas attached to "falling in love" at 14. These are some of the questions that we are going to be exploring in our first ever episode.
This is the Bedtalks Pilot. Fun fact - the first episode of a series is called the Pilot because its the first time you get "on air". We literally found that out last night and thought it was a pretty cool fact. Anyways.. because this is our first time on air, we set the scene by briefly retelling our story. Hopefully this gives you the chance to decide whether or not you find us interesting enough to keep listening. But either way, as a young married inter-racial couple, we have plenty more stories to share.
Matt - "I thought we were doing a dramatic epic trailer.." Tammy - "that's not what we had decided on, #marriedlife.. He never listens"
