© 2025 The Full Circle: Linking Songs with Musicians & Friends
Description
DC is a UK NHS working Doctor and a Music Enthusiast, hosting a music themed podcast called The Full Circle which links songs together with the last song linking to the first song, hence completing The Full Circle.
Episodes feature either some of DC's favourite musicians, some of his favourite people, or he links songs together solo.
In between The Full Circle and general chat, there are also fun features such as "Would You Rather", quizzes tailored to the guest and the now legendary "Abid's Words of Wisdom"!
As a Psychiatry Doctor, DC also invites guests to talk about their own Mental Health experiences if they wish, and encourage others to reach out, if they are experiencing their own mental health difficulties.
