Om denne podcast
The first step to kindness is understanding and this is what we're here to do! Honest, authentic and truly fascinating conversations with people who are all a bit different. It's for curious humans, especially if you don’t have the opportunity to meet people who are a bit different in real life. We bring you conversations direct from the horse's mouth and ask the questions we know you’re dying to ask.
