A Selection of Different real life true stories
Hello, I'm Martin, and I'm from South London.
I'm 60 years old, happily married, and the proud father of nine children, over the years, life has taken me on quite a journey, full of laughter, challenges, surprises, and the occasional bit of chaos.
Along the way, I've collected more than my fair share of stories and life experiences so I thought it was about time I started to share them. Every story you hear on this podcast, is really based on a real life events or experience from my own life.
This is just the beginning, trust me I've got plenty more stories waiting to be told, so I'll be releasing a few episodes to start with and seeing how they're received. If people really enjoy them, there's a whole lifetime of adventures, mishaps and memorable moments still to come, if not, at least I gave it a try.
If you'd like to know when a new episode is released, then please just follow the podcast or, if possible, leave me a little review or a comment. I'd genuinely love to hear what you think, because your feedback will help shape the future episodes.
Thanks for listening, and I hope you'll join me again for the next story.
Martin… from South London.
