Don't Be A Stranger - The Jak Bowler Podcast artwork

I'm Jak Bowler and in this podcast I sit down with people from life and have a good ol' natter! People past and present, friends and family and everything in between! I explore my relationship with my guests and how and why we came to know one another and get to know them better along the way. Ultimately I attempt to answer the big question - How well do you really know someone and how often do you actually talk about it?
