What’s Coming This Episode?

We all have very different experiences of pain. The fact that pain is in the mind can be tricky to accept, but even harder to deny. Some are able to withstand much more than others, both psychical and emotional. All together now – pain is in the brain! Pain is in the brain!

Ed apologises if he sounds a little tired this week. He’s just got back from a few days in Munich with 15+ loutish lads. Great city!

Enjoy the show!
