Don’t Stop!

I would listen to Bob Forrest talk about anything...he’s just a fantastically colourful, flawed and lovable character. He’s also a great communicator and my day is better when Don’t Die features in it. I also listen to This Life and I’m not an addict nor do I have any in my family. But as a parent I’m learning so much and it greatly influences the way I approach raising my kids now. It also informs how I handle friendships with addict friends. You brighten my day so please don’t stop podcasting! Chuck n Mike are great additions too!!
