    EVERYTHING Alan touches turns to gold and it’s very easy to see why. This is a fantastic podcast and I listen to it to go to sleep, however I can never fall asleep whilst listening to it as I don’t want to miss a beat.

  • Go on Alan

    Love the show, very genuine and often goes off script. Fat boy slim ep is the best when Alan admits he doesn’t see the point of wind turbines. 🤣🤣

    Keep being you Alan! ♥️
