  • Give In To The Random

    A great concept for a show that gives you something different every time.

    The random aspect means that you might get fun answers sometimes, and some thought provoking reactions at other times.

    A great show to hear real conversation, presented by a warm host in Danny, who is always joined by guests with fascinating stories.

  • Love. Love. Love.

    I’ve always loved the idea of experimenting with podcast formats and Danny’s show makes my heart so happy. So much serendipitous moments because of these random questions. The episode with Mandy was so good. I relate with the childhood uncertainties and building confidence through life’s experiences. 💚
