Episode 48:

This week we're straight talking to Lisa Nolan about allergies. Lisa featured on a TG4 documentary with her daughter Hallie. She tells us how Hallie's allergies were dismissed at the start by doctors, Hallie's first anaphylactic shock at age 2, being 3 minutes away from the doctor when her daughter stopped breathing and how she lost herself for a long time by becoming so consumed with dealing with Hallie's life threatening allergies. She also tells us what Hallie has missed out on as a result of her allergies and her and Peter share the frustration of being so limited on where to eat when on a family day out.

Also this week, Allan reflects on his autism/ Asperger's diagnosis and having to justify it to some people, Peter is riled by the new football Super League and Lidl's campaign of ending period poverty has him smiling.
