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.

Island Heartbeat (Defibrillators)
Season 2 Episode 52
The boys are back, and this week they're joined by a special guest: Mr. Steve Read, who shares his powerful and deeply personal story of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest.
Steve recounts the harrowing experience—from the moment he collapsed on the Isle of Wight to waking up in a cardiac ward on the mainland, having been airlifted for emergency treatment.
Following a long and challenging recovery, including struggles with his mental health, Steve found a renewed sense of purpose. He went on to establish the IOW Defibrillators charity, an initiative dedicated to placing publicly accessible defibrillators across the Isle of Wight—for residents, businesses, communities, and visitors alike.
IOW Defibrillators Charity
Founded in 2017 after Steve Read’s sudden cardiac arrest, the charity was born from a simple but urgent realisation: rapid access to defibrillators and the ability to perform CPR can mean the difference between life and death.
Since then, the charity has gone from strength to strength, powered by the support of local businesses and the wider community. Today, there are over 186 publicly sited defibrillators across the Isle of Wight, with more being added regularly—ensuring more lives can be saved when every second counts.
