1. The 'Is He the One?' Problem
Tuesday 14th November 2023
Is it ever possible to know whether your partner is 'The One'? Can you go to church but avoid drinking the Kool Aid? Should men shave more than the hair on their chin? It's safe to say there is no subject that Marian and Tara won't tackle in their quest to solve their listener's conundrums.
2. The Squirrel Problem
Tuesday 21st November 2023
Content warning - this show contains rodents! Squirrels, to be precise. What can you do to keep them away? Marian and Tara also tackle dealing with prejudice around autism and what to do if you'd rather not go to another birthday party.
3. The Package Holiday Problem
Tuesday 28th November 2023
Your new boyfriend wants to go on a package holiday by the sea, but you'd rather be hiking in the mountains - is it time to dump him? Your friends are telling you to make more of an effort but you're happy in your old clothes - is it time to smarten up? And you're a working mum of a toddler but you find yourself 'zoning out' when he's in your care - is it time to worry? All this and robbing a bank the middle-aged way are tackled by Marian and Tara.
4. The Good Cup of Tea Problem
Tuesday 5th December 2023
Is my son gay? What does it even mean when you're told to "be kind to yourself"? Should I have a baby because I am lonely? All this and possibly our most controversial response to date when a listener confesses to losing the knack of brewing a good cup of tea.
5. The Comb Over Problem
Tuesday 12th December 2023
Your close friend is doing a bad job at disguising his baldness - people are noticing and making cruel comments... what should you do?
6. The Thank You Card Problem
Tuesday 19th December 2023
So many questions in this week's instalment: Does the thought of writing a stack of thank you cards fill you with dread? Why does nobody seem to send them, anymore? Can you find a way to a new you after a long-term relationship - especially an abusive one - in the harsh world of modern dating? How can you make amends when you've accidentally angered all the old ladies in your apartment block? Can you really make stock from feathers?
7. The Moving Problem
Tuesday 26th December 2023
From broken bones to moving homes by way of orgasms (or the lack of) and a best friend who undermines your big day for their own ends - the depth and breadth of listener questions continues to amaze us.
8. The Sullen Super Model Problem
Tuesday 2nd January 2024
All life is truly here, this week with an awkward family Christmas (that needn't be so bad), a semi-cancelled wedding (which almost certainly wasn't so bad), and pulling out an under-used dinner service (which definitely isn't bad). All these conundrums and many more have come in to the Now You're Asking mailbox for Marian and Tara to do their best to address.
9. The Middle Fingers Problem
Tuesday 9th January 2024
What do you do when you're bisexual and rejected by your family, a parent worried about your son sucking his fingers, and someone whose friend brings you nothing but problems?
10. The Celebrity Selfie Problem
Tuesday 16th January 2024
What do you do when a celebrity says no to your polite request for a selfie... and what are para-social relationships, anyway? You've left your old job and none of your old colleagues have kept in touch... what should you do? You've spotted a plant you like the look of ... is it really so bad to lean over and take a cutting? In the final episode of this series, Marian and Tara cast an eye over their email inbox and issue a few thoughts and opinions.
