Episode 7 - How We've Dealt With Regret

This episode was dedicated to a question from one of our listeners asking us, it went something like this; "Have you ever regretted not saying something to someone and if so why did you tell them" This is a different type of episode to what we usually produce, it is most likely our most poignant to date and with that comes some warning, this episode contains talk on domestic violence and sexual abuse of minors... so please go gently.
