WARNING: Episode 20 is another very confronting show... It contains content that some may find hard to digest, so please tread carefully with this one. I feel that reaching the 20 episode milestone is quite significant (apparently most podcasts peter-out around this stage but I have no intentions of pulling the pin just yet). I had no idea that I would find such solace and inspiration in driving p...

An incredible series of interactions in this episode… I had a very unusual and expletive-laden chat with two slightly tipsy women; one of which had a pretty good try at an Irish accent whilst suffering from a facial injury she’d received from her mother at a Newcastle pub.
