A conversation with my good buddy Ed, who talks about being on furlough, his dad's experience catching coronavirus and running (quite at lot about running, tbf). Episode gets a little bit real when discussing his dad's hospitalisation (he is fine now) so proceed with caution if you might find that upsetting. We also learn I know nothing about economics.

A long chat with my buddy Ben, about how the pandemic is affecting things Stateside! That's right, Ben lives in America (Maryland). We rambled about the restrictions in his state, American politics, Ben's menagerie of animals, the economy vs. people's lives, rejected baby names and the Lockdown Diaries Fanclub. We also shared some promotional messages!

Nowt much happening tbh, so just some general updates. Worrying (but not judging!) about people in the park, making pasta and playing games with pals.

In this dog walking episode, I talk about the naughtiest dog in the world, the Risk app and more pertinently, Comics Youth and Animorphs Anonymous.

Comics Youth is a CIC doing fantastic work with young people in Liverpool via comic art.

Animorphs Anonymous is a podcast about the Animorphs book series.

I also talk at length about my love for the Animorphs series, why it's so great and why it's more relevant and adult than its kid-friendly infotainment packaging might suggest.
