This week’s guest is my friend and co-host of my other excellent podcast But Please Don’t Panic! Rachael “Wellsy” Wells. I met Rachael through this very podcast and we’ve been friends ever since. Rachael is Autistic, a condition I’d never really come across before so it’s been a real education for me. It’s estimated that one in a hundred people are autistic and it was really great to have a proper sit down with Wellsy and to find out how being neurodiverse affects your every day life in a world that assumes everyone is neurotypical.

“An hour of television can change everything,” Billie Piper says in the trailer for the new Netflix film based on the true events leading up to Prince Andrew’s explosive 2019 BBC Newsnight interview. The eyes of Britain were on journalist Emily Maitlis (played by Gillian Anderson) as she grilled the royal (Rufus Sewell) about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The fallout was immediate, as Prince Andrew announced that he was stepping back from his public duties in the days following the broadcast.

Our wonderful guest this week is artist and comedian Nick Wilty and I’m telling you now that nobody has lived a life as full as Nick. The stories this man could tell would be enough time fill twenty podcasts so I was overjoyed when agreed to join me on Men Brain. I will tell you now that we do cover some fairly dark topics but Nick’s storytelling ability makes them easy to navigate.

Louie Green is a proud working class comedian. On 9th Feb 2021 Louie did not die and in fact he was given a second chance and this second chance came in the form of a colostomy bag. Louie brings stomas to the forefront of conversations both in his stand up and to the public after recently hitting the national press for revealing his colostomy bag on stage. He has now been featured on prime time TV raising awareness and proving that a stoma is something to be proud of.
