    Hi Fearne,

    Your interview with Chris was fantastic. I really enjoyed hearing Chris talk about how holidays have changed since losing his sight and how he continues to champion independence while also recognising when he needs to rely on others.

    Chris, I loved hearing you talk about your maths geek side, your trips with Patricia, Sophie’s love of rollercoasters and how many times you initially turned Strictly down! I’m definitely like you when it comes to trying food but keeping it simple. Suc... more

  • Way too many ads!!

    Really love the range of guests on here and the topics covered but the sheer volume of ads ruins it and reading the reviews, I’m clearly not the only one who thinks this. The amount of skipping you need to do at the beginning and throughout is crazy! Most episodes don’t start until about 9 mins in as it’s just ad after ad. Not encountered another podcast with that many ads. Surely you can remove some?!
