This week, we're reflecting on the many different ways people cultivate community and the invaluable impact it has on their lives!
First up, we have the brilliant Tom Kerridge who raves about the importance of pubs in establishing vital community spaces that combat loneliness. Next, we have the wonderful Stephen Mangan who admits that he simply wouldn't know who he is without his huge Irish family - 52 first cousins included. Here he shares so candidly how they’ve always been his biggest support system, from celebrating his greatest successes to providing unwavering support in the wake of his parents’ passing. And last but not least, we have the lovely Hugh Dennis. He tells us just how pivotal his decision to attend Cambridge was in allowing him to find “his people", and how great life teachers and comedy peers alike helped him develop both a successful career and a strong sense of self!

Brace yourself for perhaps the most chaotic, hilarious and enjoyable episode we’ve ever recorded. We recently spent an afternoon in the personable, crazy company of Happy Mondays frontman, Big Brother winner and Celebrity Gogglebox legend, Bez!
Across a lovely chat - that took the entire afternoon because Bez fell asleep beforehand and then his phone died halfway through - we hear all about his time in the Happy Mondays and some of the scarcely believable scrapes he’s got himself into over the years. We also chat about a brief foray into politics, some of his favourite career highlights and the small matter of losing your false teeth at Glastonbury - it could only happen to Bez!
