Ian Smith has funny bones. His whole demeanour just makes me smile and watching him perform onstage never fails to bring me joy so it was a real pleasure to have him on the podcast. We talked about growing up in a small town, local press, the pressure that sometimes comes with being a comedian up at the Edinburgh Festival in an ever more competitive industry and local newspaper journalism.

This week’s guest is my friend and co-host of my other excellent podcast But Please Don’t Panic! Rachael “Wellsy” Wells. I met Rachael through this very podcast and we’ve been friends ever since. Rachael is Autistic, a condition I’d never really come across before so it’s been a real education for me. It’s estimated that one in a hundred people are autistic and it was really great to have a proper sit down with Wellsy and to find out how being neurodiverse affects your every day life in a world that assumes everyone is neurotypical.
