My name is Aid. I used to do Standup. Then I had two kids. The End. Between parenthood and the pandemic, I'm finding pretty much the only way to have a social interaction with people is to literally *book in a conversation with them* (and market it as a podcast). Every guest is going to be real upset when they realise I'm not even recording them, i'm just incredibly lonely.

  • Brilliant podcast all around

    Aid hits the right mix of funny, informed and sweary. That autocorrected to sweaty which is also true but not as relevant. Aid has some fantastic guests and is also a brilliant host, plus his solo rants always hit the right note.
