  • Touching a Nerve with Rich and Al: Episode 2 with John Solosy

    It's not every day you decide to row across the Atlantic after a pint, but that's just what Rich and Al's special guest did.

    Bona fide adventurer, John Solosy, drops by the Touching a Nerve pod to discuss The Big Oardeal, a 3,000 mile row from San Sebastian to Antigua. Did he make it? What did they see on the open waters of the Atlantic? Will he convince Rich and Al to join him next time? You'll have to tune in to find out!

    Touching A Nerve is a podcast from UK Charity GAIN (Guillain-Barre and Associated Inflammatory Neuropathies) and features Rich Collins (GAIN CEO) and Al Bailey (former Professional Rugby Player diagnosed with CIDP).
