This episode is totally unedited as requested by Ant as he doesn;t like podcasts to seem overly polished and unnatural. Saved me loads of work that did.
Ant talks about how was involved in some "naughty" stuff earlier in his life, how he saw the error of that lifestyle, what he has done to change it and how he is now trying to help others and lead them away from that same life plan.
