  • Simon Squibb Episode

    Thank you Simon and Davina for vocalising a world where our education system empowers us and our children experience a world of kindness and compassion. I needed to hear this today - you are my tribe and I sometimes feel disconnected from others who care about society. You both are amazing and your voices made a difference to my day.

  • Extraordinary

    Utterly extraordinary podcast. Davina is never self indulgent, her own episode about her health challenges was incredibly vulnerable but can teach us all so much. What a range of subjects - all of which she covers with empathy, sensitivity and wicked humour. Grateful that this podcast series exists.
