Love & Laughter with LittlePod 

Hosts: Janet Sawyer & Sally Sedgman

Episode description:

Pull up a chair, pour the tea and cut the cake: Janet and Sally are kicking things off with the very first episode of Love & Laughter with LittlePod, accompanied by a rather delicious Good Housekeeping cake. It's an introduction, to the show and to each other, told the way it would come out over a pot of tea between two old friends. They talk about why this podcast exists now, where LittlePod's wellbeing focus is heading, the Campaign for Real Vanilla that started it all, and a taste of who's joining them on the sofa in weeks to come.

In this episode:

• Janet and Sally settle in and set the scene, china, flowers, cake and all
• They sample the "bake of the week": Good Housekeeping's Strawberry Cream Soda Cake. Recipe can be found here: https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/food/recipes/a71360046/strawberry-cream-soda-loaf-recipe/
• The story behind the Good Housekeeping partnership and LittlePod's place as a pantry staple
• Why "two friends over tea and cake" felt more honest than a slick, produced show
• Who this podcast is really for, and why it's called Love & Laughter
• LittlePod's shift toward a wellbeing focus, and what that means for them
• A quick look back at the Campaign for Real Vanilla, and the fight against artificial vanillin
• A first look at who's coming up: friends of LittlePod from as close as home and as far as Japan

• Good Housekeeping partnership – LittlePod as a Good Housekeeping pantry staple
