Fan-girling Lorraine Kelly and getting fit after lockdown

Season 1, Ep. 5

This week on Macdonald, the HUGE podcast from CalumAM:

Superstar lovely legendary GP Dr Amir Khan joins us, fresh from vaccinating people against Covid-19, to tell us about how the year's been for him, how he relaxes when things get stressful - and what life is like being the resident doctor on Good Morning Britain and Lorraine. *Warning* we may do some fan-girling over Lorraine Kelly, Queen of Scotland.

Plus, we get In The Zone with Chris Stone - this week, Calum's on a new fitness kick (names welcome) to get in shape for when lockdown lifts. So Chris shares his wisdom on how to eat healthily, navigate comfort eating, and stay focused on our goals.

Thank you so much for all your support. We've reached a COOL milestone with the podcast...please keep subscribing and sharing as we continue on our little podcasting experience together.
