"My sight is getting worse. And yet I've never seen the world more clearly."

That sounds impossible.

I thought so too.

In Episode 4 of Living with Eye Cancer, I reflect on a revelatory morning spent beside the River Severn. A morning that changed the way I think about sight, awareness, recovery and what it means to truly experience the world around us.

There are no miracle cures here.

Just riverbanks, wildlife, passing strangers, a spectacular swan, an overconfident fishing net and a moment of genuine clarity.

If you've ever found yourself rushing through life, this episode might just encourage you to slow down and notice what's been there all along.

What happens when life doesn’t break… but it doesn’t quite work anymore either? In this next chapter of Living with Eye Cancer, Julian reflects on the gradual shifts that led to a completely new way of seeing — literally and figuratively.

Through honest storytelling, practical insights, and a touch of humour, this episode explores what it means to live with uncertainty, adapt in real time, and find a way forward when the path isn’t clear.

If you're figuring something out in your own life, this one might resonate.

Three years after an eye-cancer diagnosis, I have recorded a warm, sharply honest episode about what happens after treatment; when life looks “normal” but feels different. With splashes of humour (including a few run-ins with furniture) and tenderness, I talk through my feelings about scanxiety, shifting friendships, identity, and the small rituals that help you stay steady when the future won’t sit still. If cancer has touched your life, or you’re carrying any invisible weight, this episode seeks to offer company, perspective, and practical anchors you can take into the rest of your week.

I have chosen the two year anniversary of my eye cancer diagnosis and treatment to share my story. This was prompted by a chance email from the team at charity Ocular Melanoma UK, seeking real-life stories from patients. If you are a patient, a family member, a loved one or just curious, I hope my story may resonate in some way.

I often get asked to re-share this one! The time I was put into the back of a limo and driven to a secret location in London to interview Sting. He was promoting his new album, Brand New Day, but who is this guy playing the harmonica?!

Joining us on the podcast today, comedian, actor, author, and TV personality Joe Pasquale, who has been showing off on stage for more than 40 years, returns to the live arena this year with his longest comedy trek ever with The New Normal – 40 Years of Cack – Continued! Having impaled himself on the antlers of a prop Moose during his tour last year, one might have thought that Joe would be looking for a quieter life – but no, the much-loved comedian continues to ‘live on the edge’ and will be entertaining audiences across the UK throughout 2024. Joe joins me for an insightful and candid chat about the tour, the joys of performing on stage and more!

Can you ever tell if you've been cheated on? Does late-night Tweeting have anything to do with it? Tackling the biggest issues, none of the time, join Julian for this landmark episode!
