Brilliant to chat with Reece about his acting career, which started as a child actor on Waterloo Road (at the time one of the biggest shows on TV) and his business career as the Founder of Social Plug®.
Reece talks openly and very honestly to us about the issues with both careers that have impacted his mental health.
In doing so, along with open and transparent posts on his social platforms (specifically LinkedI...

We chat with David Scott about his new book "Mancunians: Where Do We Start, Where Do I Begin" and loads more.
The perfect storm of Longsight, Clayton and Moston come together to create a far less sweary Episode than you'd think..
You can buy Dave's book on Amazon, but he'd love it if you could pick one up in your local book or record store.
Great to chat with Jenny Berry about the work she does in Prisons, supporting both Prisoners and Prison Officers, using poetry and creative writing.
A really tough audience, pun intended, so it takes someone pretty special to make that work.. Fantastic insight from someone right in the thick of it.
Had a great time recording this, a good few laughs too..
..and if anybody listens to this Episode who works...

Absolutely brilliant to chat with inspirational "Transplant Warrior" Hilaria about the amazing work she does as Chair of WSH BME Kidney Network, as a Kidney Research UK Peer Educator & an Organ Donation Ambassador. All stemming from her lived experience.
A really powerful, warm and totally life affirming hour with a real-life force of nature.
