E:01 - A Beached Whale in Vauxhall: Heart Failure, Hospital Stays & Lemon Daiquiris
Description
In this bumper first episode, Nathan Sparling and Scott Agnew kick things off with the full story of how Nathan found out he had severe heart failure - following a boozy bike ride, a slow-motion crash, and a very unexpected diagnosis.
They cover hospital panic attacks, fluid-filled lungs, the politics of salt, and how ChatGPT became a stand-in nurse. Plus, a Bell’s Palsy scare in Turkey, missing Eurovision, and the battle between Beck’s Blue and 0% mango IPAs.
This episode sets the tone for the podcast - part comedy, part therapy, all chaos - as Scott joins officially as co-host and the pair begin their honest, no-filter journey through heart health and life’s many other failures.
Expect medical mysteries, emotional truth bombs, and the kind of stories you’d overhear in a pub... if the pub was in a coronary care unit.
