Hello, this is Happy Place, I'm Fern Cotton and this week I'm speaking to a man who has lived through quite a lot.

It's Magician Stephen Freyne known to you and me as Dynamo.

If you do have to go to the bathroom having corns, you can be in there for 40 minutes. That day I think she's done a runner.

You know, I've got my wife, didn't do a runner when I went to toilet for 40 minutes on our first day.

She just sat there and thought this is worth the wait.

This guy is a blimmin' inspiration, no matter how much you know about his journey, I can promise you.

Spend the next 45 minutes with us and you'll be ready to face anything today throws at you.

Now this was recorded back in February, back when we could use an actual studio which feels like another lifetime ago.

Since we recorded this episode, Stephen's posted that he's tested positive for COVID-19, a horrible thing for anyone.

But particularly when you have cranes disease.

He said that he's through the worst of it now which is remarkable in itself.

Dynamo, please get well soon. We're sending you so, so much love.

As you know, let's keep others from getting this horrible virus and staying doors if you can, listen to podcasts, read good books,

be with loved ones if you can, if not, zoom them, face time them, all that jazz.

But there are absolutely times when I'm honestly so busy that washing and drying it falls to the bottom of my priority list.
