It's a sad reality that there are no changing facilities in men's bathrooms. I have complained to a number of shopping centres in the UK about this exact thing and it's not only an Asian thing.
You both need to do more podcasts together. I love the chemistry you both have and that your not afraid to speak your truth and disagree with one another. keep it up..
It's one of the funniest ones I've heard, Dr Amir is hilarious, and I love watching him on Lorraine too. He seems like really nice person, and I will be buying the book.
Thank you both for this insightful posdcast. I follow you both, and this really resonated with me. I would love to attend Kirtan one day x
I am Indian and currently going through the adoption process. There are so many Asians out there that are on the adoption wait list waiting. it's a taboo topic in our community. It's sad that it's not a more talked about topic.
