Today’s guest subtly hides her enormity behind a small ukulele. Singing gently behind wistful and wafting melodies and sharing her understanding with children in the hope that they will be able to find a more inclusive path in their lives. However, this subtleness is merely a outward facade for the person herself is a powerhouse of message, conviction, achievement, direction and a deep deep understanding of who she is and where she is headed.

I give you Alexander Rose Mongano, Children’s entertainer, Celiac advocate, and Jack the Silly yak.

But today we bring him into the light and talk all things Beanies and potentially an album entirely about toileting.

We give you James Court.
