Your podcast is truly engaging and so interesting with the broad spectrum of guests … it’s great to hear a fellow Mansfield Boy doing so well
This is becoming a firm favourite podcast! Richard’s light hearted, honest humility with such fabulous guests! It’s making me smile so much and just loving the reflections about life. Really happy making.
Best interview so far!!! Paul Bacon is the only person I think that so far “Your Dad is more successful than Richard”.
This revert and reboot to the longer form interview is just so soothing 🥰
Richard 🥓 has such a gifted style with guests - it’s so easy to listen to.
Just change the title of the show - it makes very little sense to the listener 🧐
Workshop it with your producers and some randoms in the pub.
You’ll come up with something waaay more fitting 🌟🌟
