Season 3: Grief just ‘is’; with Alex Brooker

And our first episode is with journalist, presenter and comedian Alex Brooker; best known for his work on Channel 4’s The Last Leg.  In May 2019, his Dad Gordon passed away suddenly while Alex was at a corporate event hundreds of miles away.  This is the first time he’s spoken publicly about the death of his dad and the impact this huge loss has had on his life so far.  We cover so much in this episode and there’s laughs (obviously) and tears (of course) but more than anything, there’s a real sense of compassion and genuine kindness in the way Alex discusses his own grief experience. 

Here’s an idea of what you can expect:

What life was like growing up and how his career began 

The story behind losing his dad  

Feelings of guilt in grief 

The feelings of needing to support his brothers through their grief and lives 

Going back to work 

Talking to his kids  

We hope you enjoy our first episode back for Series 3!
