Ever wondered why your face sometimes betrays your inner thoughts? In this episode of Sideways, Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle the amusing yet intriguing concept of 'facial leakage' - those involuntary facial expressions that give away what we're really thinking. From furrowed brows to squinting eyes, the hosts discuss how our faces often speak louder than our words.
They also share personal anecdotes, including Martin's grumpy take on the clocks changing and a hilarious case of mistaken identity involving the Northern Lights and a tomato factory. With a blend of humour and insight, the episode explores how facial expressions can reveal our true feelings, often without us even realising it.

If you're curious about the hidden messages your face might be sending, this episode is a must-listen. So, what does your face say about you when you're not looking?
