  • Brilliant

    Such a great podcast. Jo is an excellent interviewer. She lets her guests talk and has wonderful chemistry with them. My favourite episode (so far) is the Lynn Ruth Miller one. Check it out, fellow humans.

  • Uplifting, healing and inspirational

    Wow - I’ve just listened to number 10 featuring Jo and Lynn and I cannot rate this highly enough. The chat is so natural you feel as if you’re in the same room with them. Jo is a brilliant host - this chat wove magic with its entertainment producing inspiration to the listener. 51 minutes passed in seconds and my tea went cold as I was mesmerised!

    Can’t wait to listen to the rest and hear no 10 again.

  • More Uplifting than Coffee

    They say to smile if you're performing with only your voice, as it comes through to the listeners - and Jo's sunny disposition comes straight through to my ears. She has a natural interviewing style that extracts the best from her guests and Real Folk, even those you meet in the street, all have their own stories. Let there be many more!

  • Love it

    I love these. Hearing about people just like yourself and what they’ve managed to achieve. A real inspiration. Favourite so far is Joff and his journey around the world on his penny farthing! Jo makes you feel like you’re catching up with old friends. It’s so easy to listen to.
