Lombsay ,

So good!

This is my favourite podcast, hands down. Kevin is so funny and personable, he seems like such a lovely guy.

Keep being the real you

After listening to the recent rerun of you on Trying. I want to send you a huge hug. Because of Risk i took a risk back in 2015 to start being the real me. It has definitely not been easy but the stories on Risk and your honesty and openness helped. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone involved in this wonderful podcast💋💋💋

Intro too long

A new record for Kevin prattling on for a full 8.5 minutes before the show. It should be kept under under 4
