You might remember him from Big Brother Series 3, (yes, the one with Alison Hammond), but there’s so much more to PJ than reality TV.In this thoughtful and open conversation, we talk about the power of community, what it means to find purpose, and how PJ’s work through the LoveBrum charity has helped champion unsung heroes across the city. We also touch on parenting, building a legacy, and embracing vulnerability—with a hefty dose of honesty and humour.We deep-dive into grief and loss, discussing PJ’s very recent personal experiences and the emotional rawness that comes with them. It’s a moving, generous conversation that offers space for reflection, connection, and a few unexpected laughs along the way.PJ brings warmth, wit, and wisdom in equal measure and we’re chuffed to share this episode with you.As ever, there are sketches, surprises, and the kind of heartfelt chat that makes you feel like you’ve just had a good natter over a cuppa.Limited Time Only – a podcast for the soul (and the chuckles).If you enjoy the show, please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, leave us a quick review, and share this episode with someone who could use a pick-me-up (it's better than drugs, RDP - you'll get that reference if you listen to the very end!) Instagram @limitedtimeonlypodcastFacebook Limited Time Only PodcastEmail: [email protected] LTO is created & written by, produced, edited & hosted by:SUSIE RIDDELL & ESTHER STANFORDIt is a Limited Time Only Production LOGO designed by:IAN STANFORDTHEME TUNE composed by:JOEL WHITEADDITIONAL SOUND:https://freesound.orgle dancing- music loop.wav by frankum -- https://freesound.org/s/350877/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0   See Limited Time Only LIVE in London this July.
