This Wasn’t the Plan (But It Might Be the Point)

We didn’t plan Season 2 like this. What started as casual conversations turned into something heavier, more honest, and far more impactful than we expected. People started reaching out.

In this episode, we strip it back: What Season 2 actually becameThe conversations that stuck with usWhy people are messaging us privatelyWhat Season 3 needs to beAnd why we want more fun, more personality, and more real life next se...

A Routine Backache. An 11-Day Coma. Stage 4 Cancer. He’s 28.

Harry Lambert is 28 years old, a dad to two young daughters, and last year he walked into A&E with back pain. He expected antibiotics. Instead, he was hours away from kidney failure, poisoned from the inside, hallucinating, and being put into an induced coma on Christmas Day. When he woke up 11 days later — unable to walk, talk, or breathe on his own — the doctors delivered the news he hadn’t even been conscious to hear: Stage 4 lymphoma. What follows is a story that doesn’t feel real: &n...

You Alright Mate? Redefining Success Before It Breaks You | Sam Thomas

Sam Thomas, founder of Different Hats and the You Alright Mate? campaign, sits down with us for a blunt conversation about men, money, and the moment success nearly killed him. At 40, after a decade of chasing the millionaire dream, he found himself crying in his car, convinced he’d failed at life. Walking back into the house to his kids’ hugs and his wife’s arms flipped the script: if success was measured in relationships instead of wealth, he was already rich. That realisation became the st...

We Confront A One-Star Review And Reintroduce Ourselves To New Listeners

A single review tried to sum us up with two words we don’t recognise: toxic masculinity. So we read it aloud, sat with the sting, and used it to restate our mission — be useful, be honest, and help people who are navigating the rough bits of real life. No gloss, no scripts, just two hosts telling the truth about grief, growth, and getting back up. Ash opens up about closing a 25-year family business, starting again with Aura Surfaces, and losing his dad — the man who taught him to live and lo...

“Am I Failing As A Parent?” — Honest Chat About Toddlers, Tech & Tantrums

Parenting doesn’t break in straight lines—and neither do we. Today we sit with the mess and meaning of raising kids in a world that moves too fast: a 3½-year-old flipping from cuddly to combative, a seven-year-old overwhelmed by karaoke lights, and those heavy days where dishes, deadlines, and “Daddy, play with me” all collide. We talk about the moments that sting—“I hate you,” slammed doors, shop-floor tantrums—and what might be going on underneath. Home is where kids feel safest, so it’s w...
