• Episode 15 - Buried With Ham
    Sep 18 2024

    Being male, it should come as no surprise that brain tumours were not my first near death experience, doing dumb shit was. In this episode I look at how having a near death experience changes your outlook on life and what things are really important to you.

  • Episode 10 - My Craniotomy Diary Pt.6 - How my diagnosis affected our daughters
    Aug 21 2023

    In my podcast I have so far only focused on events from my perspective but when our daughter Charlotte visited the UK from New Zealand I took the chance to interview her and our other daughter Rebecca on the rare occasion that I had them both together.


    We chat about the impact of my diagnosis on them and how our quiet steady lives were totally disrupted by a brain tumour diagnosis. I found it very moving to hear what they felt and went through.
