From time to time guests are invited to discuss matters relating to their experience, and illness including healthcare professionals who can inject some alternative insight into a complex subject.Remember, our Podcasts are light-hearted, funny, interesting, and informative and should prove interesting and hopefully addictive as we grow our listeners and contributors worldwide.Gimme gimme, gimme just a little smile that's all we ask of you.
