Health and fitness are not two things that are mentioned in the same sentence as comedians Jon Pearson or Patrick Draper, but they have released a new podcast to share their weight loss journey with the public.
The ward winning comics began recording three weeks ago. Following a false start due to technical issues and naming problems, the first episode went live on the 12th June 2024.
Jon Pearson has battled with weight all his life, having tried many ways of losing weight including Slimming World and Weight Watchers, fad diets have been his thing, but have never stuck.
Patrick Draper just wants to lose weight after giving up vaping and realising his addiction to biscuits, in an attempt to pause middle age spread, whilst being firmly in middle age.
Rather than joining anything that requires payment, they have both decided to document it all on a global podcast so they can't hide from their commitments.
With the possible guests giving advice and the general public, they have asked for people to listen, then email [email protected] with their own weight loss stories or with any advice or challenges for the guys to take on.
Jon and Pat plan to document a few specials via video, the first possibly being a park run.
