You feel like part of the family. A real pity your Grounded interviews have finished .... I feel miserable ... we’re still in lockdown here in cape town with another month of no alcohol - not to mention the ongoing load shedding and staggering corruption!!!
Please return with your beautiful mind, stories and warm voice

Louis Theroux’s Grounded
I have SO enjoyed this series. I don’t want it to end. Each week I have been engaged, enthralled & surprised by the honesty & candor of both Louis & his guests. A really great listen! Especially if you are walking to achieve the daily step target. I hope there’s a second series coming.
