In this first episode (which we recorded long before the podcast became a reality) my wife Amy asks me questions about my own brain injury.

Hi we are Will and Amy Perringwood. We are a newly married couple embarking on a new adventure - our own podcast. In 2013, I (Will) had a bleed on the brain and over the course of the last four years I have been striving to put myself back together. Now as Amy and I feel we have achieved so much together - including expecting our first child in August - we wanted to give back to Headway and encourage other brain injury survivors. Here is a trailer for the podcast and some idea as to what to expect from each episode. For more information visit www.fromreportertosupporter.comwww.headway.org.uk
