Episode 3 - Ash R (Part 1)

In this episode, I catch up with Ash, an old schoolmate who I've not spoken to in 10+ years.

Episode 1 - James R

In this episode, I chat with my good mate James about the pressures of life as a young (-ish?) man, the expectations placed on you by others (as well as yourself), life in a fast-paced city, and the unexplored impacts of the pandemic.
