Unlock the Power of Positivity: Your Wellness Wake-Up Call "Cancer, Heart Disease, Health, and Well-being — with a dose of laughter to keep us going. These days, Cancer and Heart Disease affect far too many men and women.

In our podcast, we open up about our own journeys — from diagnosis and treatment to the vital support of family, friends, and the mental health battles in between. We dive into the resources available, both medical and financial, and share the ways outside support can make all the difference. But it’s not all heavy. We also talk about everyday life — news, sports, hobbies, arts, crafts — the things that keep us smiling through the toughest times. Special guests join us too, bringing their own stories, experiences, and fresh perspectives. Most importantly, our podcast is light-hearted, funny, relatable, and inspiring. It’s informative without being overwhelming — and once you tune in, you’ll want to keep coming back. So join us, laugh with us, and remember: all we ask is just a little smile.

    Living Honestly

    Send us a text Season 3 Episode 24 In this deeply moving episode, Patrick is joined by Ian Trushell for one of the most open and honest conversations the podcast has ever hosted. Ian is living with stage 4 bowel cancer, and in this episode he speaks with extraordinary courage and clarity about his journey — from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment, the physical and emotional toll, and the reality of living with a life-limiting illness. Nothing is sugar-coated, but nothing is said without heart. Ian reflects on what it means to face his own mortality, the thoughts that come in quiet moments, and the strength he draws from his family and friends. He talks openly about fear, acceptance, resilience, and the small but powerful things that matter most when life is stripped back to its essentials. This is not just a story about illness — it’s a conversation about love, connection, honesty, and dignity. Ian also shares thoughtful advice for others facing serious illness, for families supporting loved ones, and for anyone who may be avoiding that difficult conversation with themselves or others. It’s raw, it’s real, and at times it’s incredibly emotional — but it’s also uplifting, grounding, and full of humanity. An episode that stays with you long after the microphones are switched off. #HeartTransplant #eatingdisorder #RareCondition #HealthJourney #LifeChangingDiagnosis #MentalHealth #Vulnerability #SelfCompassion #PostTraumaticGrowth #MedicalMiracle #BBCSports #Inspiration #Cardiology #Surgery #Podcast #Healthcare #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #EmotionalJourney #SupportSystem #HealthcareHeroes #PatientStories #CardiologyCare #MedicalJourney #LifeLessons #MentalWellness #HealthAwareness #InspirationalTalk #LivingWithIllness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SharingIsCaring #MedicalSupport #BBCReporter #HeartDisease #PodcastInterview #HealthTalk #Empowerment #Wellbeing #HealthPodcast #prostatecancer #Aid's #prostate Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

Andy returns this time not just as a guest, but as a friend, to talk openly and honestly about the sad loss of our co-host, Martin. In this episode, Andy shares his memories of Martin — the laughs, the conversations, the opinions, and the moments that defined him both on and off the podcast. We talk about the things Martin loved most: sport and entertainment, and above all, people. The discussions are heartfelt, sometimes emotional, and often uplifting, just as Martin would have wanted. This is a conversation about loss, but it’s also about legacy.

There are smiles, stories, and a few difficult moments — but it’s a fitting tribute to a man who loved a good chat and believed in the power of conversation.

    Send us a text Season 3 Episode 21 A Story of Strength, Honesty, and Hope In this deeply moving episode, Patrick sits down with Jenny Beards to share her extraordinary journey through breast cancer — from diagnosis to treatment, and everything in between. With openness, courage, and remarkable honesty, Jenny talks us through the moment her world changed, the decisions she faced, and the reality of navigating chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and ultimately a double mastectomy. This is not a sugar-coated story. Jenny speaks candidly about the fear, the physical toll, the emotional lows, and the moments when everything felt overwhelming. But alongside the hard days are stories of resilience, humour, compassion, and the incredible care she received from medical professionals who helped carry her through the toughest chapters. Just as powerfully, Jenny reflects on what comes after — finding strength she never knew she had, rebuilding confidence, and emerging on the other side with a renewed perspective on life. Her journey is one of survival, gratitude, and quiet determination, offering reassurance and hope to anyone facing cancer themselves, supporting a loved one, or wanting to better understand the reality behind the diagnosis. This episode is honest, emotional, and ultimately uplifting — a testament to the human spirit, the importance of early awareness, and the life-changing impact of excellent treatment and support. 🎗️ A must-listen conversation that reminds us just how strong people can be, even in their darkest moments. #HeartTransplant #eatingdisorder #RareCondition #HealthJourney #LifeChangingDiagnosis #MentalHealth #Vulnerability #SelfCompassion #PostTraumaticGrowth #MedicalMiracle #BBCSports #Inspiration #Cardiology #Surgery #Podcast #Healthcare #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #EmotionalJourney #SupportSystem #HealthcareHeroes #PatientStories #CardiologyCare #MedicalJourney #LifeLessons #MentalWellness #HealthAwareness #InspirationalTalk #LivingWithIllness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SharingIsCaring #MedicalSupport #BBCReporter #HeartDisease #PodcastInterview #HealthTalk #Empowerment #Wellbeing #HealthPodcast #prostatecancer #Aid's #prostate Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

    Final Curtain

    Send us a text Season 3 Episode 20 Today’s podcast is a rather sombre one, as we come together to celebrate the life and times of my old mate, dear friend, and colleague Martin Weavers — the much-loved co-host of Who’s Tom & Dick.  Martin sadly lost his battle with Stage 4 lung cancer earlier this week, surrounded by his family, listening to his famous tunes — and yes, it did include the Bay City Rollers.  Martin and I knew each other for well over 30 years and formed a partnership filled with incredible chemistry and laughter. Together on the podcast, we shared not only stories and insights into health, illness, and resilience, but also the joy of everyday life — news, music, hobbies, and the kind of banter only old friends can deliver.  Martin brought his unique voice, humour, and spirit to every episode, bravely speaking about his own journey with Stage 4 lung cancer as he fought with courage, honesty, and that unmistakable glint in his eye.  His passion for good music — especially the classics — endeared him to listeners, and his ability to find laughter even in hard times defined the very soul of our show.  Today we honour not just a brilliant co-host, but a true friend who made every moment richer for those who knew him. As Martin always said "Turn that Frown upside down" R.I.P dear Martin xx #HeartTransplant #eatingdisorder #RareCondition #HealthJourney #LifeChangingDiagnosis #MentalHealth #Vulnerability #SelfCompassion #PostTraumaticGrowth #MedicalMiracle #BBCSports #Inspiration #Cardiology #Surgery #Podcast #Healthcare #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #EmotionalJourney #SupportSystem #HealthcareHeroes #PatientStories #CardiologyCare #MedicalJourney #LifeLessons #MentalWellness #HealthAwareness #InspirationalTalk #LivingWithIllness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SharingIsCaring #MedicalSupport #BBCReporter #HeartDisease #PodcastInterview #HealthTalk #Empowerment #Wellbeing #HealthPodcast #prostatecancer #Aid's #prostate Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

    Cancer & Hope

    Send us a text Season 3 Episode 19 As we welcome in the New Year, Patrick opens this special episode of Who’s Tom & Dick with a slightly different format. Martin is sadly not with us today as he continues to recover from his recent illness and is currently battling laryngitis. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to having him back behind the mic very soon. In Martin’s absence, this episode focuses on something that touches almost every family in some way — cancer. Patrick is joined by one of America’s leading oncologists Dr Usifar for an open, honest, and incredibly informative conversation designed to empower listeners with knowledge, clarity, and reassurance. Together, they discuss the things everyone should know about cancer: early warning signs, changes in the body to look out for, when to seek medical advice, and how modern medicine is advancing detection and treatment. The conversation covers surgery, chemotherapy, treatment pathways, side effects, recovery, and emerging cures, as well as the emotional and physical realities patients and families often face. The episode also tackles a critical and often overlooked topic — cancer-related scams — highlighting what to avoid, how to protect yourself and loved ones, and where to find trusted, evidence-based information. This is a compassionate, practical, and eye-opening discussion aimed at starting the year informed, aware, and prepared. Whether you’re personally affected, supporting someone else, or simply want to understand more, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and hope. #HeartTransplant #eatingdisorder #RareCondition #HealthJourney #LifeChangingDiagnosis #MentalHealth #Vulnerability #SelfCompassion #PostTraumaticGrowth #MedicalMiracle #BBCSports #Inspiration #Cardiology #Surgery #Podcast #Healthcare #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #EmotionalJourney #SupportSystem #HealthcareHeroes #PatientStories #CardiologyCare #MedicalJourney #LifeLessons #MentalWellness #HealthAwareness #InspirationalTalk #LivingWithIllness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SharingIsCaring #MedicalSupport #BBCReporter #HeartDisease #PodcastInterview #HealthTalk #Empowerment #Wellbeing #HealthPodcast #prostatecancer #Aid's #prostate Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

    Before the Baubles

    Send us a text Season 3 Episode 17 Welcome back to Who’s Tom & Dick. In this episode, Patrick and Martin finally sit down together for a proper catch-up since Martin’s return home from hospital. It’s a conversation that’s been a long time coming — honest, unfiltered, and rooted in real life. Martin shares how the past days have been since coming home: the small wins, the ongoing challenges, and what recovery actually looks like away from the hospital ward. Patrick and Martin reflect on the physical and emotional realities of navigating long-term and life-changing health conditions, speaking openly about Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis, Strokes, and Prostate Cancer — topics that affect so many families, yet are still too often whispered about or avoided altogether. This episode isn’t about medical jargon or scare stories. It’s about lived experience, resilience, and the importance of talking — properly talking — about health, vulnerability, and support. There are moments of reflection, moments of honesty, and moments where laughter becomes just as important as the conversation itself. And because it wouldn’t be Who’s Tom & Dick without ending on a high, the episode wraps up with a bit of festive warmth, Christmas cheer, and the return of a firm favourite… Martin’s Joke of the Week — proving once again that even in the face of serious challenges, humour still has its place. So make yourself comfortable, grab a brew, and join us for a heartfelt, hopeful, and very Who’s Tom & Dick Christmas catch-up. www.whostomanddick.com #HeartTransplant #eatingdisorder #RareCondition #HealthJourney #LifeChangingDiagnosis #MentalHealth #Vulnerability #SelfCompassion #PostTraumaticGrowth #MedicalMiracle #BBCSports #Inspiration #Cardiology #Surgery #Podcast #Healthcare #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #EmotionalJourney #SupportSystem #HealthcareHeroes #PatientStories #CardiologyCare #MedicalJourney #LifeLessons #MentalWellness #HealthAwareness #InspirationalTalk #LivingWithIllness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SharingIsCaring #MedicalSupport #BBCReporter #HeartDisease #PodcastInterview #HealthTalk #Empowerment #Wellbeing #HealthPodcast #prostatecancer #Aid's #prostate Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com
