Join Cass, Sarah and Darren in this heartfelt, yet hilarious, interview discussing Darren’s journey with Crohn’s Disease. Darren’s story is an incredible one, which involves him remaining extremely positive, humorous and humble regarding his illness. Darren continuously raises awareness surrounding IBD in such a confident and upbeat way, through his podcast, comedy and charity work. Make sure you check out Darren’s podcast “It Takes Guts”. It is exceptionally informative and hilarious, with Jake, Darren and Christine all bringing their unique personalities, perspective and experience to the table.

For anyone who wants to hysterically laugh, not listen to anything politically correct, empathise and relate to two professional women who continue to work far too many hours, study when they have no free time to do so, date all the wrong and right men, love a glass of vino and have so many poo stories that will ensure Cass, in particular, will never date again, make sure you tune in.
