    Don't be afraid to start...unless it's trying to find love on TV (be very afraid)

    A bit of a different vibe on the waffle this week!
    After 4 years of podcasting, I sit down with a good friend of mine, Luke, to have a beer and waffle about what's been going on recently!
    This waffle wasn't planned, but following on from a song that has been stuck in my head for weeks, it grew into a powerful conversation!
    The main takeaways from the episode are:
