Season Three: Episode 1 - Time for Changing Seasons (featuring Chesney Hawkes)

Listen on

Episode notes

It's a change of seasons of LTO and the first episode is all about...changing seasons (how on earth did they come up with that?!)

Esther & Susie chat stationary, darkness and self-sabotage in a chat that is as silly as you'd expect. With a fair bit of honesty chucked in for good measure. You may well be inspired to buy a planner and floss your teeth. And possibly do a press-up.

In a twist of fate that 12 year old Susie would never have believed possible, the special guest for Episode 1 is Chesney Hawkes, who looks pretty much the same as he did in 1991. Chesney is the consummate guest - funny, inspiring with cracking rockstar anecdotes. He also has apparently endless patience. We still don't know where the balloons came from...

As well as talking about Chesney's big break in Buddy's Song (including a terrifying audition in front of his idol, Pete Townshend) and how he came to sing the Nik Kershaw-penned The One and Only, Chesney tells Susie & Esther how he deals with stress, and about the joys of gigging with his son. Jesus Christ Superstar coming down from heaven on a Yamaha also features. 90s kids, that one's for you.

The episode is topped off with a YouBash; a comedy sketch set in a forest (it's important to get outside at this time of year!); and the voice of the third LTO host. She gets paid in sweets.

Enjoy! And then take your Vitamin D tablets.
