  • Brilliant pod

    As a father to a 5 year old son with autism. This podcast is so relatable I find myself nodding along to what they say and also tearing up at some of the stuff they say because I’ve not heard anyone else say the things they say apart from me in my own head. Only listened to two so far but it’s great to listen. Sound like two top blokes.
