For Real with Roger Cutsforth

Late last year I sat down with the wonderful Sofia Cann for my series of For Real podcast conversations.

As you’ll hear, this conversation is an emotional and horrifying example of what is becoming an all too familiar experience for many women.

We had to postpone it’s publication unfortunately due to a re-opened investigations at the time, but I’m delighted to say Sofia has got some closure now and ultimately this story is one of immense courage, bravery, determination, resilience, love and hope. 

It is timely we can publish this episode now in National Stalking and Awareness Week.

Jay is an award winning Coach, Mentor & Producer who works with presenting talent for audio/radio, TV and digital channels. Jay talks about his life and career and how he's become the person he is today, which is a hugely successful, inspiring and lovely human being. Has it been plain sailing? Oh no. Whether it's his Passion and Purpose, how he values Character over Credentials or his thoughts on earning to take responsibility for his actions, "compassion has to be front and centre." It was wonderful to share this time with Jay, I hope you enjoy sharing it with him too.

David is UK Radio Royalty and the warmth, passion, encyclopedic knowledge shine so brightly in him. What a pleasure to share some time in his company.

A remarkable and powerful chat with the brilliant radio producer Arianne Merry.

Authentic and inspirational.  If you'd like to check out the following links that Arianne talks about, or you're struggling at the moment, please seek out help below:
