Episode 16: Haunted Helpers & the Grumpy Van Man Survey
Welcome, my spiritual sweethearts! đź‘»
We kick off this week with Linda venting about her latest run-in with a nasty white van man — honestly, the spiritual energy in some of these tradesmen is diabolical. That leads us neatly into a completely unscientific but 100% accurate survey of the UK’s most miserable workers. (Van men, you’re high on the list. Sort it out.)
Then we dive into the mystical pages of Take A Break Fate & Fortune, exploring stories of people with a sixth sense — that uncanny spidey-tingle that tells you something spooky’s afoot.
From the same mag, we hear an incredible tale of a ghost saving a woman from alcoholism. A true spirit intervention! 🍷✨
But the big one this week is a powerful, emotional story from Dave Granville — a listener who sent in a letter so packed with spiritual twists, family secrets and chills, we just had to talk to him on Zoom.
And as if the spirits weren’t done, we then hear from Kelly Rickard, who contacted us to say she’d experienced the very same haunting Dave described only last week. The spirit world is clearly on a group chat.
Then it’s time for a bit of problem solving — everything from ghostly nuisances to relationship confusion. You send them in, we dig through the ectoplasm for answers.
And to top it all off, Barry from Watford pops in to promote his latest Buckle Up with Barry episode — featuring none other than Matt Lucas. Find it on TalkSport or wherever you get your podcasts, and do give it a listen… if only to hear Barry go wildly off-topic, as usual.
With thanks to:
Kathrine Boyle, Dave Granville, Kelly Rickard, Barry from Watford, Matt Lucas

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
