Love you Paul and this podcast but I found the episode with Lucinda hard. No one wants anyone to get bullied ever but there’s a difference between being bullied and being held accountable and I feel you spent this whole episode excusing her behaviours.
Thanks for getting Lucinda on your pod , she’s such a lovely person, and she was definitely bullied!! Can’t believe they have got away with it?? But Lucinda in the end will show them all .
Was my first listen of this podcast. He’s truly a magical human. A national British treasure. And Paul, you were a great host and interviewer. Love love love ❣️
Love this podcast, such genuine & real interviews. There is much to learn from it, I love the way Paul creates a safe space for his guests to open up in a way you don’t see with other interviews. Highly recommend!
I hadn’t really heard Miranda talk before and I kind of expected her to be unlikeable. She was amazing, so grounded and family oriented. I love her relationship with Orlando. This was. Great episode.
