Don’t Fight the Monkey
A dog falls out of a window, interrupting an important phone call, and a zen optometrist has advice for the restless monkey in our minds.
We consider the figurative and restless monkey in our minds, following some advice from a zen optometrist.
Elsewhere, a dog falls out of a window and interrupts an important phone call, conkers are getting explosive, and Barbados Cream seems to be enjoying a revival.
And Liza's playlist is packing a punch with a favourite from Ian Dury, some lesser-played Jackie Wilson, the wisdom of TLC, and some Scottish punk rock from The Skids.
To listen to the show on most smart speakers, say: “Ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Liza Tarbuck".
Produced by Spiritland Productions for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 2.
