Last night Brad appeared on @insightsbs to talk about his experience with recently exploring his relationship with Autism. For anyone to have the courage to go on national TV and speak about something that can be so confronting and personal is a HUGE accomplishment. Shane and I (Scott) are extremely proud as his friends and co-hosts, to see him speak about this with such bravery, openness and honesty.

I don’t think he would mind us saying that the podcast has been a huge part of his confidence building over the last 4 years and we are so proud of how far he has come.

We encourage you to watch the entire video and send him some love in the comments ❤️

40 EPISODES 🎉

The three of us are, first and foremost, just fans - much like all of you. The foundation of this podcast has always been incredibly simple: to create a space where we can talk about, celebrate and share our love for the thing that brought us all together.

Making this podcast isn’t always easy. It’s a lot of work, and sometimes it can feel like we’re pushing uphill. But building such a loyal community of listeners, people who continue to listen, support us and share in our love for @officialsteps is something we could never have anticipated when we started.

So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being here, for listening and for coming along for the ride.
Here’s to the next 40 episodes! 🥂 🪩

NEW EPISODE: We’re kicking off our Gold 25 celebrations with a special series of episodes marking 25 years of one of Steps’ most iconic eras and we’re starting with the song that launched it all, ‘Chain Reaction’.

As we dive into the story of ‘Chain Reaction’, we’ll hear from the band’s Musical Director @mrsteveanderson who co-wrote and produced the B-side, ‘Stop Me From Loving You’, and has reworked ‘Chain Reaction’ numerous times for Steps’ live shows over the past decade.

We’re also joined by @stuart1hayes who by the Gold era had become the group’s co-choreographer alongside Paul Domaine. Stuart was instrumental in creating one of the most iconic and gloriously camp performances of ‘Chain Reaction’ for the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party.
