An informal podcast of me (Alex, non medical bloke) asking Joe (clever Doctor) about various aspects of health. We're hoping to cover topics that are not always readily discussed, because, well, it's not always easy to discuss them. Anything you'd like to discuss? email alexbabic@gmail.com and we'll stick it on the list! (We're also sponsored by those lovely folks at www.beer52.com. For a FREE case of beer, go to www.beer52.com/orders )

In this episode I can honestly say I learnt a few things about The Crown Jewels. We had quite a laugh too. Juvenile humour is never too far away with this subject. Thankfully Dr Joe McManners was on hand to keep a bit of balance.
