Don’t Fight the Monkey

A dog falls out of a window, interrupting an important phone call, and a zen optometrist has advice for the restless monkey in our minds.

We consider the figurative and restless monkey in our minds, following some advice from a zen optometrist.

Elsewhere, a dog falls out of a window and interrupts an important phone call, conkers are getting explosive, and Barbados Cream seems to be enjoying a revival.

And Liza's playlist is packing a punch with a favourite from Ian Dury, some lesser-played Jackie Wilson, the wisdom of TLC, and some Scottish punk rock from The Skids.

To listen to the show on most smart speakers, say: “Ask BBC Sounds to play Liza Tarbuck".

Produced by Spiritland Productions for BBC Radio 2.
