  • Asking the questions we all want to know!

    Thanks for starting the pod, Nicky! I loved the episode with Jo and appreciated that you’re asking and have permission to ask the deeper questions and going beyond the surface level stuff.

    I’m waiting for a Kavana episode now that he’s released his book which is taking off, or an episode with Jon from SClub since Celebs Go Dating.

  • Good show - stop advising

    I enjoy the guests and Nicky is a nice man but please stop advising people to get in a room and talk it out.

Then Ben Adams you’re telling to reach out to grieving families. So inappropriate. That combined with thinking everyone was a Westlife fan (yeah of course 5ive & E17 loved you!)& crowbarring your name into everyone’s ult... more
