What’s Coming This Episode?

Silence is a funny thing. For most people, it simply doesn’t exist. As soon as we’re awake the TV or radio is on and the phone is pinging away with notifications. So why have we arrived at this place where so many of us are desperate to fill every available slot in our diary with *something*? Pray silence please…

Enjoy the show and take care, it’s The Self Help Podcast!
