Thanks for listening - was definitely going for a love letter vibe in that last episode. You know it’s getting emotional when Snow Patrol begins and it’s getting more optimistic when Two Door Cinema belts out!
just listened to this whole series in one morning and i am strangely so emotional, what a credit to the memory of darren bradshaw and a phenomenal last episode which is almost a love letter of sorts to belfast and it’s LGBT history. can’t recommend enough
