Former footballer Dean Richardson talks about his days as a youth player at Celtic in the early 2000’s and the progression of his career after leaving Celtic Park.
On top of that, there’s some funny stories about nights in the cells in Dublin and physical assaults from the enigmatic Tommy Gravesen after beating him at pool.
But most importantly, Dean tells me about his recent testicular cancer battle at only 34 years of age, and how vital early detection was in saving his life.
You’ll hear great advice and we dismantle the notion of embarrassment when it comes to something so serious.

*****ORIGINALLY RELEASED AUGUST 2019*****
Capital FM Producer James tells me about his life and how gambling addiction took a severe grip on him.
He explains the stresses and pressures in detail, and how the disease impacted and infected every inch of his life. We talk about the spiralling problem, the debt issues incurred as a result, and how suicide became the most viable option in his eyes.
As with every episode of Blethered, we reach the light at the end of the tunnel. With the help of Gamblers Anonymous, James fought back and took control and has turned things around.
This is an honest, raw, dark and inspiring account of the affliction - and we even laughed the whole way through the conversation - even when it got really dark. James doesn't hold back and this can stand as an example to anyone else suffering in a similar situation.
