North & South (Mind Your Mouth) - 28 July 2025: Season 1 Episode 1: *Say Something In Scouse Please - In their debut episode, Ann and Nick pull back the curtain on why they decided to launch this podcast in the first place.

Plus, Ann doesn't hold back when it comes to sharing her true feelings about Nick's band, Trifecta. Buckle up for a funny, honest, and refreshingly unfiltered introduction to the world of Ann and Nick. [I have been a fan of the music that Nick is been involved with for a long time, all the way back to Kajagoogoo in the early 1980’s, mainly due to his bass playing if I’m being honest. Since then he’s worked with people such as Steve Hackett, Steven Wilson, Lifesigns, The Mute Gods, Trifecta, and many more.]
