• S5:E8 Time for...Soap & Glory (featuring Lucy Speed)

  Season 5, Episode 8 is a dramatic one! For exciting news and to suggest topics for us to chat about: SIGN UP HERE! Now you've done that, we can carry on. Name that soap theme tune...dum-tee-dum-tee-dum-tee-dum!  This week's guest LUCY SPEED plays talented farm manager, Stella Pryor in BBC Radio 4's THE ARCHERS - the world's longest running (and best - not biased at all here 😉) soap.  Lucy's career spans theatre, television, film and radio, and began when she was just a child. Lucy has played a multitude of roles across so many genres including DS Stevie Moss in The Bill and Bec Baker—Peter Kay’s wife—in his BBC sitcom Cradle to the Grave as well as countless other fantastic characters in a career that demonstrates her great versatility.  She brings a blend of warmth, wit, and emotional intelligence to every role she plays, and—as you’ll hear—she’s deeply thoughtful about the human experience behind the craft. In this conversation, Lucy opens up about what it was like working with the legendary Julie Walters, how being an empath has shaped her both personally and professionally, and her hopes for leaving a legacy that changes the way we understand and respond to bullying in everyday life. This ep also features two soap-related sketches for your entertainment, and a soapy chat which includes what might be the next iconic characters to prop up the bar in The Bull in Ambridge!

Esther loves lounging with a broadsheet on the weekend. Susie can't remember the last time she read a newspaper that wasn't left by someone else on the tube. So to make Susie feel better about her lack of lounging and perusal of long-form articles, Esther asks her 10 questions Stephanie Beacham was asked in one of said broadsheets. Let no one say we are not highbrow. You can play along - let us know your answers! Hope you enjoy this week's mini episode.

• S5:E7 Time for...The Green Room (featuring Liz White)

  Season 5, Episode 7 of the International Women's Podcast Award-winning Podcast - (how many times is it ok to say the word podcast in one sentence?! ) When Susie's banging on about signing up to our newsletter, just click here and she'll stop.... SIGN UP HERE! (You know she'll never stop, right?!) Joyful episode 7 is a celebration of the theatre.  Our guest is LIZ WHITE, one of the UK’s most compelling and versatile actresses, currently starring in the Olivier award-winning National Theatre production of DEAR ENGLAND. Liz rose to prominence in the iconic BBC drama Life on Mars, and has since captivated audiences with her roles in Ackley Bridge, The Woman in Black, Our Zoo, Call the Midwife, and Unforgotten—among many others. A seasoned performer across television, film, and theatre, Liz brings emotional intelligence and authenticity to every role. We talk to Liz about her love of independent film, her enduring passion for the work, and how having the courage to create her own opportunities early on proved to be a transformative moment in her career. It's a treat of a conversation and we're thrilled she could join us before heading to the National Theatre for a performance of Dear England. Also in this ep, there are matinee and evening sketches and a welcome return of A QUIZ.

• LTO Brief #7 - The Awards Ceremony

  Hallo! Before we begin, please FOLLOW Limited Time Only on your chosen podcast app - it's a little thing that makes a huge difference to us. Thank you! We love you. This week's Brief episode is a little different - rather than chatting about a topic suggested by a lovely listener, we're celebrating our success at the International Women's Podcast Awards (still can't quite believe it!) and telling you all about what happened when we won an IPWA in the category of Comedy. Huge thank you to the IWPA team and to BBC Sounds for supporting our category. Also to the team at Apple Podcasts. You'll hear some audio from the night - recorded inside the iconic Radio Theatre at BBC Broadcasting House. So bear with if that bit is a little fuzzier than our usual chat - it was recorded on a phone and it's only short (and a lot of fun!) Hope you enjoy this week's mini episode. And please do sign up to be in the LTO Community - it's purely an infrequent newsletter of manageable length, and the chance to suggest future LTO BRIEF topics. Huzzah! SIGN UP HERE!  Love from Susie & Esther xx Please do share this episode with anyone you think would enjoy it. And if you haven't already rated and reviewed LTO, we would be eternally grateful if you would! Thank you so much! Next week: we're joined by the fantastic actress, LIZ WHITE who is currently appearing in the National Theatre production of Dear England. You'll have seen her being brilliant in so many TV shows such as Life on Mars, Ackley Bridge, and Call the Midwife to name but a few, and films including The Woman in Black, and Wild Bill. It's a great conversation - we can't wait for you to hear it!

• S5:E6 - Time for...Telling It How It Is (featuring Rebbecca Hemmings)

  Season 5, Episode 6 We know we say it every week but...have you joined the LTO COMMUNITY yet? It’s our newsletter. It's infrequent. It's a manageable length. And it'll appear at the top of the hownotes until you sign up! Here's the big link to click: SIGN UP HERE! So, back to episode 6 of this glorious season... Our guest is Rebbecca Hemmings, a leading voice in cultural awareness, inclusion, and the power of language to create meaningful change. Rebbecca is the founder of Strawberry Words, a dynamic training and consultancy company that specialises in helping individuals and organisations navigate difficult conversations around race, identity, and inclusion with confidence and compassion. With a background in public speaking, performance, and education, she brings a unique blend of creativity, candour, and care to her work. Through her workshops, keynotes, and consultancy, Rebbecca helps people explore unconscious bias, challenge assumptions, and develop the tools needed to create truly inclusive environments. She is deeply passionate about the power of words, the importance of visibility, and the need for safe spaces where people can be honest, heard, and respected. We talk to Rebbecca about the significance of cultural awareness, how to approach challenging conversations with empathy, why language matters more than we think, and how we can each play a role in creating a more equitable world. It's a chat that covers a lot of ground, and left both of us inspired and with a renewed energy to learn. We're sure Rebbecca will have the same effect on you. Enjoy! Added to all that, there are 2 sketches and a chat about chatting - tricky chatting. Get stuck in and let us know how you get on! Limited Time Only – a pick-me-up in podcast form.
