The 12 supplementary episodes or 'Cuttings' feature a range of guests from podcasting, journalism and the arts, discussing the issues raised in the show, including themes such as representation, lived experience, identity and social responsibility. This teaser showcases some of the conversations that focus on people's life experiences as Dave talks to Girl on the Net, Azariah France-Williams from The Shapeshifters Podcast, June Hoy and Musa Okwonga.
