    Simply a classic episode of sofa stories if I may say so, classic NB and Choc variety and randomness which I think the title suggests!

    No spoilers here, I think those that listen regularly and know us well will appreciate this one.

    Let us know how this one goes down in your ears and what you enjoyed the most.

    Thank you always, NB and Choc.

    An eclectic mix as usual for a Choc and NB debrief, aka the “5K” catch up episode.

    Including an amuse-bouche intro to NB’s trip to the Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic “El Clasico”, Oli’s school reunion and a discussion about politics both side of the pond, Starmer, Trump and a surreal conversation about P-Diddy and the artist formerly known as Kanye West.

    An exclusive mini vox pop interview with Dimitris head of sales at the incredible Grind Coffee.

    Never a dull moment.

    Let’s get into it but more importantly let us know your thoughts.

    Happy Easter from NB and Choc! 🐣

    We hope you enjoyed the last edition featuring Harrison Bianchi and the previous episode with Paul Cheetham, it was a great listen, I had my pen and paper out for that one!Let me know your takeaways from that episode.

    I did an interview on the 18th April with Dan Westwood from Gorgeous radio and I played it to NB last night and we both agreed that it would be good to share it with you all.

    Dan asked some powerful questions which really got me thinking on my toes and it was an interesting listen for me to be honest to find out how I was going to answer them.

    Let me know what you think. You can message us on Instagram at Sofa Stories, but most importantly, Happy Easter, love to you and the family and thank you so much for listening to the podcast.

    NB and Choc.

    Ps big thanks to Dan Westwood for the content https://www.instagram.com/westwooddan?igsh=ZjJmNDZ1dDNtbXZz
