Dearest Dan: What I know now: Recent Episodes
Dan Straw & Jo Henderson
Tune in each week to hear a new entry read by Past Dan and laugh along with Dan and Jo as they discuss what’s written and chat a whole bunch of nonsense in-between. Each episode ends with a jump forward for some advice from Future Dan to finish. Hope it makes you smile.
So once upon a lockdown, Dan Straw and Jo Henderson got very bored and decided it would be fun to make a podcast and...It was! They made a whole season worth of episodes. As lockdown continued they then made some more episodes but then, the world started to open up again and the podcast was completely forgotten about. That being said it seems a shame to not do anything with the recordings so here is a new episode from Dan and Jo, recorded back in January 2021. Hope you enjoy it and as always, thanks for listening.
Dan and Jo continue to get frustrated with January 2008. Past Dan has some drama at college but will he tell you what it was? Future Dan gets a surprise. It’s all gossip and scandals this week so grab a drink and join us for our last episode of the series! It’s juicy January.

Once upon a time in lockdown, Dan started to read through his old diary entries and his good friend Jo pointed and laughed at him. From humble beginnings we keep it short and sweet this week. It's time to burn those bridges of all credibility starting with January 2008. Enjoy folks.
