Welcome to Open House, the podcast all about having difficult conversations. You know the ones ... the hard to broach, super awkward, 'just do it' kind of chats. We're Mel and Clancy. We're actors, housemates, and best buds. We've had a fair few difficult conversations and rather than pay for therapy, we've decided to broadcast them on the internet (how very millennial). In this podcast we open our house to some awesome guests as they spill the tea on times they've found talking about a problem tougher than getting on the London property ladder. From disastrous break ups and microaggressions, to coming out stories and money woes - This is Open House.
