Good Guys John and Danny

Mother's Day, 2021. Today the conversation goes deep as John and Danny discuss: Danny's Covid experience, lockdown 3, the tragedy that has rocked the UK, making our country safer for women and the role we can play as men, and the relationship between counselling, politics and social activism. The conversation ends on an optimistic note as the Good Guys share hopes for the future and reflect on the joy of simple, human interactions. Of course, there's also a bit about the footy and cricket :-) Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash
