Episode 5: Gary’s haunted flat & what it’s really like to lose a parent

Welcome to episode five of The Waffle Show, with West Country creatives (and self-proclaimed wafflers) writer Louisa Adjoa Parker and musician Gary Pickard. In this ep we continue to share stories from our lives but it's a tough one, and a little different to other eps. In part 1 Gary tells the story of living in a haunted flat for over a decade, and in part 2 we discuss what it’s really like to lose a parent. (If you've recently lost someone, it might be a good idea to skip this ep and listen another time).
