This special episode marks one year of the Big Fellas Podcast! Darren and Mark take a trip down memory lane, revisiting the car park conversation after a Man v Fat game that sparked the idea for the show. Since then, Big Fellas has grown into a platform that’s reached nearly 10,000 downloads, sharing real men’s stories and tackling the ups and downs of weight loss.

The lads reflect on their favourite episodes, the inspiring guests who’ve joined them, and the personal challenges they’ve faced along the way. With honesty and gratitude, they highlight how accountability, community, and relatability are key to long-term success in weight loss.

This episode is both a thank you to the listeners who’ve supported them and a promise of even bigger things to come as Big Fellas heads into its second year.
