After a bit of a break, the microphones are back on and Over the Falls returns with Dave, Med and Dukes behind them once again.

In this catch-up episode, we talk about why we stepped away for a while, why taking a break can sometimes be exactly what's needed, and what the future holds for the podcast.

Of course, it wouldn't be Over the Falls without disappearing down a few rabbit holes along the way. From reminiscing about Aberystwyth supermarkets and legendary water slides to debating Burger King vs McDonald's, there's plenty of nostalgia, laughs and completely unnecessary tangents.

It's great to be back.

🎙️ Local people. Local stories.

In this week's episode we discuss the real-life implications for patients and families in Ceredigion with the potential loss of the Stroke unit in Bronglais hospital.
