Welcome back to the ninth episode of Pop To The Loo with Cass and Sarah. This episode involves the legendary Darren, one of the hosts of the amazing podcast “It Takes Guts”, being interviewed by the girls.

Things kick off with Sarah's 'Moment of Gratitude' to Michael Hanson, who originally encouraged her to start a podcast. And Cass sending our love out to everyone struggling with both their physical and mental health at the moment.

During the episode Cass, Sarah and Darren discuss the following: -

  • the podcast “It Takes Guts” that Darren co-hosts with Jake and Christine,

  • Darren’s diagnosis journey

  • symptoms experienced prior to diagnosis

  • the free from range from back in the day

  • medication and side effects

  • Darren’s special treatment when in Hospital - should a needle be involved (!),

  • Darren’s work as a comedian & how his illness has produced some great material

  • the story of when Darren went paint balling

  • the importance of Darren’s wife and friends

  • dealing with stress and mental health

  • going dairy free

  • Sarah’s overpriced cheese !

Join Cass, Sarah and Darren in this heartfelt, yet hilarious, interview discussing Darren’s journey with Crohn’s Disease. Darren’s story is an incredible one, which involves him remaining extremely positive, humorous and humble regarding his illness. Darren continuously raises awareness surrounding IBD in such a confident and upbeat way, through his podcast, comedy and charity work. Make sure you check out Darren’s podcast “It Takes Guts”. It is exceptionally informative and hilarious, with Jake, Darren and Christine all bringing their unique personalities, perspective and experience to the table.

For anyone who wants to hysterically laugh, not listen to anything politically correct, empathise and relate to two professional women who continue to work far too many hours, study when they have no free time to do so, date all the wrong and right men, love a glass of vino and have so many poo stories that will ensure Cass, in particular, will never date again, make sure you tune in.
