Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 904: Master Class-Mediumship Jane Doherty
Q: What distinguishes a psychic from a medium?
The guest explains that psychics predict the future, mediums communicate with the dead, and she combines both abilities, whereas a psychic might not engage with spirit communication.

Q: So do you find like your opinions have changed over the years since you first started doing this to where you are today?

Episode 894: Stirring the Cauldron is back!
Q: Should there be some type of regulation for mediums or psychics?
Yes, there are regulations in the UK, but the public aspect should also be addressed.
