What happens when cancer gets a sense of humour? And when a late autism diagnosis changes how some healthcare professionals see cancer care?

In this episode, we meet two men rewriting the script—literally. One through a fabulously funny, no-holds-barred blog about his incurable cancer experience, the other through a powerful new book unpacking autism, prostate cancer, and the gaps in some healthcare professionals' understanding.

Meet Martin Howell and Mac. Two men, two very different experiences—talking to Robins or taking a TV to bits to make a radio. Why? Well, you'll hear over the next 20 minutes.

Both reshaping how we think about illness, identity, and how we tell our stories.
