  • Remember you are enough!!

    Day 1 listener here and gutted to hear Danny isn’t going to be on the pod BUT just a reminder to Billy & Sam that you don’t need guests! We love the pod for the authentic funny chats, the letters and the unfiltered opinions! Just chat through different topics together, we’re all here to listen, we don’t want all the guests (no offence) we listen to hear you guys! ❤️
