Advertise on podcast: Dearest Dan: What I know now

So once upon a lockdown, Dan Straw and Jo Henderson got very bored and decided it would be fun to make a podcast and...It was! They made a whole season worth of episodes. As lockdown continued they then made some more episodes but then, the world started to open up again and the podcast was completely forgotten about. That being said it seems a shame to not do anything with the recordings so here is a new episode from Dan and Jo, recorded back in January 2021. Hope you enjoy it and as always, thanks for listening.

Dan and Jo continue to get frustrated with January 2008. Past Dan has some drama at college but will he tell you what it was? Future Dan gets a surprise.
