This week I am delighted to be joined by Graeme Le Saux, ex-professional football (soccer) player who played for his country (England) and won the premier league with Blackburn, amongst other top line clubs. Graeme is unlike many sports stars I have encounered. Modest and unassuming, yet quietly assured when discussing his illustrious career. He has the same fierce spirit that all professional sportspeople have at their disposal but also he has a keen intelligence and wisdom, making him a perfect guest on my fledgling podcast. Graeme can be found on X and IG @graemelesaux14

Dominic Holland's life has not panned out quite how he expected. An award winning stand up comedian with countless TV/Radio appearances and the author of 9 books and counting. His weekly blog has run over 20 years. He is married and has four sons, the eldest of whom is an actor called 'Tom' and explains why his best selling book on his life and career is called 'Eclipsed'.An unusual life then and yet this is a podcast for us all - a podcast on his unusual life and yours. Each episode is framed with a reading of a comic essay from his series of books - Takes on Life, followed by an interesting conversation with a guest from comedy, business, sport and academia. Some famous - some not - just interesting people with their own takes on the vagaries of life.A podcast for everyone......because whatever we do and whatever our achievements, everything is relative and basically all people are the same.George Orwell explained this neatly when he said, 'every life when viewed from within is a series of failures.'And there is humour in failure and with his acute eye, Holland has a minefield to plunder. His own dubious treasure trove which he invites listeners the world over to enjoy.
