Wow. It's really a privilege to be allowed to listen in to these wise and witty people having a rambling but authentic and intimate conversation about life, death and things in between.

OMG, Johnny/Michael and Sue, what an incredibly intimate and profound interview. I felt like I was eavesdropping on a private conversation between two close friends. You are both such accomplished people, I'm sad to hear you suffer so much from your demons. Being Catholic doesn't help IMO! If you haven't done so already, may I respectfully suggest you give counselling a go. Finding the right counsellor to get the tools you need to navigate life's challenges can be life changing. Please be gentle on yourselves, and remember, perfection is a myth, and you are "enough"!! Sending love and positive thoughts to you both from Ireland. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Bloody hell, this was an amazing episode and really resonated with me at the end. I lost both parents within 19 months of each other and could identify with what they were both saying. I love both Sue and Johnny/Michael; they're articulate, funny and were just a joy to listen to. This was a brilliant episode.
