Every episode is a great listen. Mark Steel never fails to make me laugh with his witty take on how utterly ridiculous everything is, with the help of celebrity guests and his son Elliot. (who is blessed with his dad's intelligently razor sharp humour). I've listened to the first 10 episodes and look forward to Mark doing more. It'll keep me going until he does another series of Mark Steel's In Town!

Dear Mark, Such a inspiring brave cast. I've been a fan of yours for the longest time,

Only just finished re-listening to your back catalogue of lectures.

Funny hearing Elliot, his voice reminds me of my own lad Jacob, I'm from Northfleet, Jake from Chalk near Higham, which means he gets out of the bath to have a piss.

Hopes and prayers, rest and get well. we'll be here when you come out the other side. God bless.

BEST OF LUCK MARK YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION
