Autism: In conversation with auticonHow a Neuroinclusive Approach Can Create a Better Working WorldOne of the things we are really passionate about is shining a light on best practices, hopefully giving inspiration to others who might want to do more to make the workplace a more inclusive place for neurodivergent people.
Sometimes when people from the neurodivergent community request accommodations to be made they can be met with a rejection because ‘if an exception is made for one person, it can open up the floodgates to other people requesting the same thing’. But, is that such a bad thing?
Are these rigid ways of working outdated and harmful, not only the person but...2024-03-1157 min

Their later releases explored a more atmospheric indie rock dynamic, as heard on their two albums, 2011's "Take Your Light" and 2013's "Are You Life".

The salty cheese with a squeeky intensity - Haloumi - gets a mention - like it does at every sodding bbq. Our Butters rock up with with a smörgåsbord of cheese-related tales. As one of our Butters posted CHEESE IS LIFE.... we will let you decide.
2020-02-0752 minDon’t Laugh But...HabitsThis week we're discussing the horrible habits that hold us back and hinder us...from hitting snooze to holding your phone in higher esteem than your family.
Will Rebecca recover from essentially being a dog fluffer on one very bizarre day... will morning Rebecca ever be friends with evening Rebecca? Kirsty’s bad habits turn out to be many and varied...one is talking too much... I know we’re as shocked as you are. Then there's finding her own socks by the side of the road, being overly protective of potatoes and, a-hem, chewing her toen...2020-01-2455 minDon’t Laugh But...TravelJoin us on our journey this week as we become trepidatious travellers. Trains, planes ... what could go wrong...? All kinds of crazy apparently.. from Kirsty’s light battering (which wasn't nearly as tasty as it sounds), to Rebecca's fear that the train toilet door will once again betray her.
As always DLB asks the important questions such as does Finland exist? Is the problem with travel the other travellers? And is Rebecca merely a figment of Kirsty's imagination? Enjoy.
2020-01-1755 minDon’t Laugh But...ResolutionsThis week we celebrate a new Don’t Laugh But decade by rambling our way through resolutions. Should we bother making them? Should Rebecca's be to dive into the dragons den with shoebuddies .com? Should Kirsty's be to stop obeying machines? Should Don’t Laugh But be your resolution?
We'll leave all these life affirming questions with you. In the mean time let’s throw all the boring resolutions out the window, grab the left over Christmas cheese and chocolate, pour a Gin and enjoy...
2020-01-1055 minDon’t Laugh But...Fate!We fall into fate this week. Is it fate, destiny, serendipity or all three? Are you meant to be doing something in the world? Or is it all random and haphazard (a bit like every week here at DLB)? Was it fate that Kirsty’s angry corner involved her seeing red only to find out that it’s actually her own brain that needs to be in her angry corner? Is it Rebecca’s puppy’s fate to always love to eat an entire sock? We’ll leave you, our lovely Butters, to decide. ‘Cos we haven’t got a clue.
2019-12-1351 minDon’t Laugh But...RestaurantsThis week we take you for dinner, lunch and a whole brunch of chat as we discuss restaurants...what’s not to love... getting fed and cleaned up by other people.. it’s one of life utter pleasures but how close should we get to the gems of humans that are waiting staff? .. Kirsty believes very close indeed. Meanwhile Rebecca gets excited about mermaids... surely they should be on every restaurant menu? Our butters join us at the table with their amusing amuse-bouche of restaurant faux pas ..
2019-12-0652 minDon’t Laugh But...GuiltThis week we grimace in the face of guilt. Who’s feeling guilty? NOT us...
Okay, now we're feeling guilty for lying.
Is guilt just a useless self-destructive angry inner voice that our other seldom-heard compassionate inner voice should politely tell to buggar off?
As always our Butters save the day with their beautiful, hilarious and often disturbing Guilty Pleasures including running with jazz hands, using butter as a dip and bra-warmed chocolate.
(Also includes Kirsty’s tales of a joyous recent smear test. You have been warned.)2019-11-2956 minDon’t Laugh But...StressThis week we don’t sit by the rivers of Babylon but instead dive right in to the tempestuous sea of stress that is first world 21st century living. Is life really so overwhelming or do we bring it on ourselves? Is stress sometimes a good thing? Would it help if we collectively admitted that we’re all just shutting our eyes, putting our foot down and hoping for the best?
Whether it's the small things (Kirsty by her own admission could ‘catastrophize a bag of crisps’) or the bigger things like winging it at parenting and suffering eco-guilt that make you wa...2019-11-0155 min

Also covers zip-up underwear, Rebecca's disturbingly alluring french accent and Kirsty's award-winning John Wayne impression . So put on your hat, fight your way to the canapés, and join us as we 'spoon the vicar'.
2019-10-2455 minDon’t Laugh But...Weddings - part 1This week here comes the bride and all things wedding related...we get lost in the no mans land that is the the wedding ceremony - should oversized Jenga ever be involved? Wedding rules; are they necessary or should we all be radical and do exactly what we want? Why are men getting to do all the speeches? Should the bride be made up to the extent that no one, including the groom, recognises her?
The bigger questions are not left untouched like will Kirsty learn to suck apples or get the chance to slide across the d...2019-10-1850 minDon’t Laugh But...School DaysThis week we’re walking those stinky school corridors again, re-visiting the highs and lows and the down-right butt-clenchingly (or otherwise) embarrassing moments we all experienced...
We ponder over whether Kirsty should have been able to keep her shaved initials in her hair or Rebecca was actually well within her rights to be smoking in the school toilets.
Our Butters share their most hilariously embarrassing school moments. Why is school a dystopian nightmare for some...a festival of delights for others?... we don’t know but we spend a lot of time talking about it.
2019-10-1154 minDon’t Laugh But...DietingThis week we ravishingly eat up all things diet related ... why do we so want to believe in them.. even the ones that make us smell like cabbage and eat deadly worms, when they seem to have the power to make us all unhappy? In our desperate attempts, filled with shame and judgement, to eat less and punish our bodies do we perhaps forget that food is life and life is fun, and that perhaps inside every thin girl there's a fat girl trying to eat her way out?
Also features the joyful mental image of...2019-10-0454 minDon’t Laugh But...DisabilityIn a conversation that Kirsty rates 5 stars (but then she’s easily pleased), we swallow back the fear of offending and frankly getting things all kinds of wrong and delve in to the issues surrounding disabilities.
Why when 1 in 5 people in the UK are disabled aren’t they similarly represented on our TV screens? Are disabled people fed up with being either pitied or held up as heroes? Why isn't everyone valued and deemed to be exactly enough just as they are?
And why isn’t Kirsty suitably impressed by Rebecca’s Stephen Hawking story?2019-09-2653 minDon’t Laugh But...PartiesThis week, now with the help of our lovely listeners - the ‘Butters’, we line up the shots and vol-au-vents and discuss the very best and worst of soirees and shindigs. Should other people clear up at your party? Is there too much pressure on NYE to ever enjoy it? Will Kirsty ever leave the buffet table? And what should one do if a guest gets her breasts stuck in her zip whilst another is eating a frozen snake? Whatever the answers may be there's no doubt this is THE place to be, and you’re all invited. Bring a bott...2019-09-2055 minDon’t Laugh But...WomanhoodWhat does it mean to be a woman? Is it ok to draw any distinctions between the genders? Are women supportive of each other? Is it insulting for a woman to be referred to as a ‘girl’? Does Kirsty’s new ‘serious’ voice mask our inabilities to grapple with such a weighty subject? And when oh when will we hear a woman fart in a movie?
