Actress and comedian Rachel Jackson joined me in the studio (yes, an actual studio) to talk about her career and what it's like to be a woman in stand up comedy. We talked about a whole load of things from how she got into both acting and comedy, to how I used to think that my life was The Truman Show, when I was 9 years old.Enjoy!email: [email protected]://twitter.com/seanmcdonald01https://twitter.com/r_jacz See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Connor Friel speaks about his experiences with gambling addiction and how he regained control when it was severely impacting his life. We also talk about industry manipulation tactics, Fixed Odds Betting Terminals and how the digital age has made it all too easy to hand your money directly to betting companies.As someone who has little to no experience of gambling, this was an eye opening chat and one that I hope benefits both those who are in the midst of their own gambling issue, and those who don't fully understand the affliction and how it can cripple people.email: [email protected] Anonymous Scotland: https://gascotland.org/Connor's Twitter: https://twitter.com/Friel19_Paul McGuigan's Twitter: https://twitter.com/guig_07Paul McGuigan's JustGiving: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/paul-mcguigan2?utm_id=124 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
