On the Couch with Biscoes
On the Couch with Biscoes is your home for honest, unscripted conversations with the people who help our local community thrive. Brought to you by Biscoes Solicitors, this podcast steps away from the legal world and into the stories, values, and experiences of the businesses, organisations, and individuals we collaborate with every day.
Each episode invites you to settle into a cosy, comforting space where real people share what keeps them moving, lessons learned, challenges overcome, and the passions that drive their work. If you’re searching for heavy legal talk, this isn’t the place. But if you want heartfelt, open conversations with the voices shaping our community, you’re in exactly the right spot.
So grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join us on the couch. There’s always room for one more.

The conversation also dives into the Armed Forces Covenant and Employer Recognition Scheme, with Mark sharing why supporting the armed forces community matters and how businesses can get involved.
