Off Point is a podcast by Les Steed and Marlon White, two young men from very different British backgrounds. We are in our 30s and life is not what we thought it would be.
It is a starkly open and honest series of discussions about our experiences getting to where we are in life, from relationships to employment; to coping with mental health, to the way society has changed and how it has changed us.
With occasional visits from people we know and love who are going through similar experiences.
