Customer Reviews
Thought provoking
Jermaine and Ben discuss some really important topics. They navigate these conversations so honest and openly. Highly recommend this podcast.
Honest & thought provoking
Thank you for being a platform that covers so many topics. This is such a beautiful podcast & it’s incredible to hear every time a new episode is released.
My thoughts on the podcast
I enjoyed listening to the episodes of these podcasts and how the hosts are able to bounce off each other whilst touching the topic of beareavement that affects so many but that few are able to express.
I feel that hearing it from a male perspective is both refreshing and needed in a society where men are not often encouraged enough to speak about their grief and pain so thank you!
