Season 3 Episode 18

Welcome back to Who’s Tom & Dick.
In this episode, Martin & Patrick sit down for a well-earned catch-up after Christmas Day — the food’s been eaten, the wrapping paper’s been cleared away, and it’s time to reflect on what has been a memorable year for the podcast.

Together, they look back on the past season, revisiting some of the standout moments and incredible guests who have joined them along the way. From laughs to serious conversations, unexpected insights to unforgettable stories, Martin & Patrick each share their top five guest picks, reflecting on why those episodes resonated and what made them special.

But it’s not all about looking back. The conversation naturally turns to the New Year, fresh energy, and what lies ahead. Martin & Patrick talk openly about their goals and targets for the remainder of Season 3 — what they want to build on, where they’d like to take the podcast next, and how they plan to keep Who’s Tom & Dick honest, entertaining, and true to its roots.

It’s a relaxed, reflective episode full of gratitude, laughter, and forward-looking optimism — the perfect bridge between the festive break and what’s still to come.

So settle in, grab a brew, and join Martin & Patrick as they close one chapter, open the next, and get ready for the rest of Season 3.

Season 3 Episode 17

Welcome back to Who’s Tom & Dick.
In this episode, Patrick and Martin finally sit down together for a proper catch-up since Martin’s return home from hospital. It’s a conversation that’s been a long time coming — honest, unfiltered, and rooted in real life.

Martin shares how the past days have been since coming home: the small wins, the ongoing challenges, and what recovery actually looks like away from the hospital ward. Patrick and Martin reflect on the physical and emotional realities of navigating long-term and life-changing health conditions, speaking openly about Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis, Strokes, and Prostate Cancer — topics that affect so many families, yet are still too often whispered about or avoided altogether.

This episode isn’t about medical jargon or scare stories. It’s about lived experience, resilience, and the importance of talking — properly talking — about health, vulnerability, and support. There are moments of reflection, moments of honesty, and moments where laughter becomes just as important as the conversation itself.

And because it wouldn’t be Who’s Tom & Dick without ending on a high, the episode wraps up with a bit of festive warmth, Christmas cheer, and the return of a firm favourite… Martin’s Joke of the Week — proving once again that even in the face of serious challenges, humour still has its place.

So make yourself comfortable, grab a brew, and join us for a heartfelt, hopeful, and very Who’s Tom & Dick Christmas catch-up.

Season 3 Episode 16

“Martin’s Medical Mayhem: The Plot Thickens”

In this week’s episode, we catch up on what can only be described as Martin’s trilogy of unfortunate health events—a saga that started calmly enough with a routine “Well Man” examination and rapidly unravelled into something straight out of a hospital drama.

First came the Achilles disaster. One wrong move, one loud snap, and suddenly Martin is strapped into a moon-boot, sentenced to eight long weeks of hobbling around like a budget Stormtrooper. Spirits high, mobility low.

Then, just as he was adjusting to life at half speed, a routine blood test decided to throw in a plot twist. What should have been a quick in-and-out appointment turned into a red-flag phone call from the GP, an urgent referral, and whispers of a chest infection with possible pneumonia. Cue the MRI tests, scans, monitoring, and a diagnosis that takes a nasty turn no one expected.

We break down the timeline, the symptoms, the worry, and of course—Martin’s own colourful retelling of events. From limping into clinics to being told off by nurses, to unexpected twists in the test results, this episode has the perfect mix of humour and heart.

Join us as we unpack the chaos, support my mate, and discuss why Martin may genuinely qualify for his own loyalty card at the local West Suffolk hospital by now.

Strap in—it’s Martin, medicine, and mayhem in equal measure.

Season 3 Episode 15

Get ready for an absolutely inspiring episode of Who’s Tom and Dick, because today the Boy's are shining a spotlight on a brand-new movement that’s already transforming lives across Suffolk!

We’re talking about 21 Young Hearts Café — a remarkable new Community Interest Cafe with a mission that’s as powerful as it is heart-warming. Their goal? To encourage, empower, and support young people with disabilities by helping them step confidently into the workforce. And they’re not doing this through theory… they’re doing it through opportunity.

At the centre of their vision is a brilliant idea: a fully-operational community café in Martlesham Heath, open six days a week, serving great coffee, tasty refreshments, and something money can’t buy — real training, real confidence, and real inclusion.

Here, volunteers and trainees don’t just help out… they thrive. They follow structured programmes, linked to apprenticeship pathways, to build essential life and workplace skills — from food preparation and customer service to handling money, teamwork, and stepping proudly into independence.

21 Young Hearts is more than a café. It’s a launchpad. A safe, supportive, energising environment where young people with disabilities get to shine, contribute, and feel part of something bigger.

Listen to Lilly, she is delightful and will tell you in her own words how important this hub is and how its changed her life.

So settle in — because this episode is full of passion, purpose, and the kind of community spirit that makes Suffolk truly special.

This is 21 Young Hearts… and trust us, you’re going to love what they’re creating.

Season 3 Episode 14

Patrick and Martin sit down with Human Givens Psychotherapist Lucy Day for a grounded, eye-opening discussion on what really drives emotional well-being. Working with both adults and children, Lucy supports people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, phobias and bereavement — but her approach is anything but traditional.

Lucy breaks down the Human Givens framework, which is based on a simple truth: when our essential emotional and physical needs aren’t met, life gets tough. She shares how practical tools, forward-focused thinking, and relaxation techniques can help people reclaim balance without endlessly revisiting past trauma.

This episode is packed with clear guidance, powerful insights, and plenty of Tom & Dick curiosity as Patrick and Martin explore how Lucy helps clients tap into their own mental resources to rebuild confidence, reduce stress and move toward real recovery.

A must-listen for anyone wanting to understand mental health in a more human, hopeful and practical way.

🎙️ Episode Title: “Surviving Narcissistic Abuse — Emma’s Story and the Power of MyNARA”

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Martin and Patrick talk to Emma Davey, a survivor who turned her trauma into purpose. After enduring three harrowing years of abuse at the hands of her former partner — who was later jailed for his crimes — Emma rebuilt her life and dedicated herself to helping others escape similar cycles of control and fear.

Now a counsellor specialising in narcissistic and domestic abuse, Emma supports victims as they navigate the complex path to recovery. She is also the founder of MyNARA, a groundbreaking app designed to help victims safely and covertly record evidence of abuse while connecting them to a supportive global community.

Emma shares her journey from victim to advocate, offering insight, hope, and practical tools for anyone affected by coercive control or emotional manipulation. This is an episode about resilience, justice, and the life-changing power of speaking out.

MyNARA is a narcissistic abuse recovery app for those who are suffering in a romantic relationship with a narcissist. It has been developed by experienced mental health professionals and survivors of narcissistic abuse.

The MyNARA app enables victims to reclaim their lives with practical guidance and tools.

Safety is our number one priority. The App icon is cloaked on your phone so your abuser will not be able to see it is there (it will appear as a very boring utility that will work if used). You will then be prompted to set a PIN code to access it.
