🎧 In this special season finale, Jack and Mo take a breath and look back on everything Season 1 has offered — the guests who’ve inspired us, the conversations that lingered long after recording, and the unexpected ways the podcast has taken root in people’s lives.
👟 From thought tickles to meal deals and Matrix confessions, it’s a warm, human episode full of laughter, learning and honest reflections on what it means to create spaces of belonging in education.
💬 We talk openly about Ofsted, shame, curiosity, and connection. We also look ahead to Season 2 — the guests we’re excited to invite, the stories we want to hear, and the voices we’re still curious to include.

We're Still Here! - Episode 6 (with guest Janelle Brindle)
What do spy disguises, UNO cards and critical thinking have to do with supporting care-experienced young people?
In this thoughtful conversation with values-driven leader Janelle Brindle, we explore the messy, human realities behind the systems that shape young people’s lives. From supported accommodation to school exams, we reflect on the disjointed transitions at 16 and 18—and what happens when services work in silos.
We talk about what really builds belonging, and why connection often starts in the small, quiet places. Like a lunchtime game of UNO. Or the space to fail safely in a creative subject. Or the moment someone says, “I’ve got you”.
💬 Why creativity isn’t a ‘nice to have’—it’s an essential part of care.
🎲 What UNO cards can teach us about presence, play and trust.
👂🏽 Why listening with genuine curiosity can change a young person’s future.
This episode is a gentle but urgent reminder that relationships shape outcomes—and that being a champion for a child is never wasted work.
