On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by somebody who needs little introduction in the UK access and disability space.
Broadcaster, Journalist, Musician and disability advocate Mik Scarlet joins us to talk about his lifelong relationship with pain, the darker side of living with pain and how he uses humour to cope, the amazing work he does for access, disability and inclusion and touches upon his incredible and varied career.

In this episode, we are joined by the wonderful Ian Taverner, aka Mr Cookfulness.
Ian becomes an instant favourite with our live audience as we talk about adjusting to chronic pain, the mental health impact pain can have and how Ian turned to cooking to cope with his change in circumstances. Following Ian’s incredible journey from the grief of pain and the impact on his family to how he now owns the stage at events like Naidex, this episode is sure to not only inspire you but likely have you reaching for the tissues, as two men talk candidly about their mental health and the burden you can feel with living with a chronic illness.

Tracy lived with Antiphospholipid Syndrome for 17 Years, from her first symptom to diagnosis, resulting in internal damage. 
Over the years, Tracy learned to use art to process and began painting her condition as she saw and experienced it.
Now a patient advocate for Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Invisible Disability and Chronic Pain, Tracy joins us on the Chronic Pain Club Talk Show to talk about this often-overlooked autoimmune condition and how, quite brilliantly, she paints it.

On this episode, we are joined by Katy Pieris to talk about parenting with Rheumatoid Arthritis, the importance of exercise, why she volunteers and hear her arthritis story.
This felt more like two friends chatting at the bus stop than a video call between two people for the first time, and I really hope that mutual respect, candidness and relaxed conversation comes across in the recording. :)

We are joined by special guest Russ Cowper - Psoriatic Arthritis Patient Advocate, Charity Trustee and Poet - to hear why they advocate and how writing poetry helps them live with a chronic condition.
