The clocks just went forward by an hour, the days are longer and brighter so we thought it will be a good moment to look back at some of our favourite 'check-ins' over the past 6 years. From our very first episode where we bumbled our way through explaining the podcast, to some episodes that left us in fits of laughter and tears.

If you are looking for some joy to pick you up then this is the episode for you. Plus, with April Fool’s Day approaching, this episode really does tick the jokes box!
