Try Not? The Pod

So this week there are some minor changes to the usual episode structure.....as we were Queens of the Waffle we've actually talked about the experience we are going to try for the full episode length! It's DNA testing - so sit back with a cuppa and listen to our thoughts and feelings on taking a DNA test to find out if either of us are related to royalty, serial killers, butchers, bakers, tailors or candlestick makers.....WHO KNOWS? Here's the link to the video Leah talks about, it's a little emotional.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyaEQEmt5lsDon't forget to follow us on all of the socials @trynotthepodEmail us at trynotthepod@gmail.comand now, if you fancy helping us continue to create content you can buy us a coffee using Ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/trynotthepodWe continue to thank Benson for our theme music, Nic Newman for his mad artistry and you, for listening to our ramblings xx Get bonus content on Patreon Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

A long time ago, on a wet and windy afternoon Mia and Leah were looking at the ‘Groupons' for all the different types of allergy testing. Apart from the hair testing and skin prick tests they came across an applied Kinesiology session for the diagnosis of allergies and intolerances. The pair set out a couple of weeks later to South Woodford where they each has a session with a wonderful kinesiologist, and this podcast is the result. We hope you like listening to it, I (Leah) apologise for being a touch ‘ranty' this ep, but no amount of editing can cover that up I am afraid….Follow us on Instagram or Facebook @trynotthepodOr send us an email at trynotthepod@gmail.com - we'd love to hear your ideas of what we should do next.Special shout out to Nic Newman for our epic logo & Benson for our vintage theme music.

Cast your mind back, way way before masks were a thing and anyone had heard of a lockdown....Mia and Leah decided they wanted to use their weekday evening hang out to try new things, the more odd the better. This somehow became a plan to launch a podcast, and this, right here is the first episode. We went for dinner in London's Dans Le Noir, a restaurant where you eat in the dark. We had fun, but I don't want to spoil it....
