Joining them are comedians Mark Steel and Richard Herring, actors Colin McFarlane and Ben Richards, rock star Mike Peters, and journalists Jeremy Langmead, Nick Owen, and Jeremy Bowen.

Holmes, who also created the satirical radio program The Skewer, initiated the podcast to provide a platform for sharing stories, advice, and lighter moments related to cancer.
