Like Minded Friends with Tom Allen & Suzi Ruffell

Introducing Ian Wrights Everyday People - Today we want to let you know about a new show that were loving. Its called Ian Wrights Everyday People, where each week Wrighty meets someone with an incredible story of bravery, resilience or transformation. He gets to the heart of how theyve changed the world for the better and why they do the things they do. With Tom Allen and Suzi Ruffell. A podcast where two homo comedians talk about life, love and culture... sometimes. There's Major Chris Brannigan, a doting father-of-three who took on an impossible 700 mile barefoot walk, raising funds to create a pioneering treatment for his daughter, diagnosed with a rare genetic disease, and millions of other children suffering with rare diseases. Ian also meets Munira Mahmoud, a survivor of Grenfell Tower who has been preparing home cooked meals for families struggling to put food on the table during the pandemic. Ian then invites Andy Hider on the podcast, a mum of three from Bristol who fostered over 150 children over three decades to hear about the story that saw her recognised with an MBE for her services to children. If you like what you heard, search Ian Wrights Everyday People to listen to the full episode. Available every Tuesday on all major podcast platforms.
