My two boys have additional needs and sometimes I feel powerless to change things. I need to have a louder more confident voice for them so...”Read full review »

“I’ve just found this podcast, started with Mel’s story as I had a sneaky suspicion it was going to involve organ donation. (I’m a donor mum too). Wow, she echoed a lot of how I felt at the time. Great listen, looking forward to catching up with the rest of the podcasts now”

“Stunning body of work Mr Wright.
Compassionate, informative, emotional and entertaining.
You have the ability to make all the “interviews” sound like a chat with mates and that is the mark of a great interviewer!
With respect and thanks from a fellow 57 year old. 👊🏻”

Shame on you people for not believing in children with difficulties.
Shame on you simpletons who still think anyone who’s not the same as you is inferior”

“When you’ve got people talking about really important things like suicide, the last thing you want is the conversation stopped every 10-15 mins for an ad break. It ruins it, and I gave up listening half way through. Can’t you just have them all at the start or end.”

“I wanted to like this podcasts more than what I did. Ian makes too many references to his own life whilst interviewing the guests. I want to be concentrating on the guests story more than Ian’s situations, so for that reason I found it disappointing”
