  • Hazel Behan episode

    The show is always informative but the 6 March 2025 episode is a stand out. Hazel Behan speaks so well and she gives such a great insight into what she went through. Fair play to her and to Paul for a great interview. To think this is her first podcast interview - she is excellent and I really feel for her. Thanks for sharing.
