The Disco Lemon Podcast
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." "You're young, you'll adjust." "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." You know what they say... but what do they mean?! Join your host, Emily Sykes, as she & her special guests navigate the meanings behind these classic cliches. Life doesn't come with an instruction manual... or a recipe for some kick ass lemonade... but that's what this pod is for! Tune in every other Wednesday for your fix of tips, tricks, jokes & joys of being 20 something and confused. Life gave you lemons? Join the party. If there's one thing we know about making lemonade, it's that no one want's to drink it alone.
