About this episode

This week’s guest on the pod is Rizzle Kicks popstar and writer Jordan Stephens. In this conversation, more like a pub chat than an interview, Pete and Jordan talk about the importance of grandparents, the beauty of dogs and a lot about how therapy can completely change your life.
