Unlock the Power of Positivity: Your Wellness Wake-Up Call
"Cancer, Heart Disease, Health, and Well-being — with a dose of laughter to keep us going.
These days, Cancer and Heart Disease affect far too many men and women.
Nothing truly prepares you for the shock of a diagnosis or the terrifying moment of chest pain followed by a heart attack or cardiac arrest.
In our podcast, we open up about our own journeys — from diagnosis and treatment to the vital support of family, friends, and the mental health battles in between. We dive into the resources available, both medical and financial, and share the ways outside support can make all the difference.
But it’s not all heavy. We also talk about everyday life — news, sports, hobbies, arts, crafts — the things that keep us smiling through the toughest times. Special guests join us too, bringing their own stories, experiences, and fresh perspectives.
Most importantly, our podcast is light-hearted, funny, relatable, and inspiring. It’s informative without being overwhelming — and once you tune in, you’ll want to keep coming back.
So join us, laugh with us, and remember: all we ask is just a little smile.

Heart Disease and Heart attacks are the subject of todays Podcast.
Martin & Patrick have special guest Actor Robert MacCafferty in the studio today to discuss his heart attack on the Golf course..
Robert an actor who was hired to take part in a nationwide NHS campaign says it saved his life when he realised he was having a heart attack while playing golf.
Robert McCafferty, 59, from near Shefford, Bedfordshire, England, said he began to feel his chest tighten, like indigestion or Heartburn, on the 12th hole at Chesfield Down Golf Club on 15 February this year (2025). He said he experienced the "same subtle symptoms" he had been told to act out, so knew instinctively to get help.
Originally from Glasgow, Robert filmed the advert about three years ago, a cardio surgeon advised him on his performance, to make him fully aware that "some of the symptoms are subtle".
Listen to Robert's story, you think having a heart attack is a big thing, clutching your chest and using big actions, but is it, Robert learnt a lot from acting out his Heart Attack in the movie role but that still didn't immediately trigger he thought he was having a Heart Attack.
Robert has some excellent advice well worth a listen and it may help you or others as it did him on that fateful day, some signs to help you identify a Heart attack in the making.
