a brilliant podcast!
iain is a very special chap, one I have the up most respect for and I wish him all the very best in life.
I was very lucky to have been invited to one of his shows to do an otter/fishery powerpoint a few years ago and I thanked him for the platform he provided to raise the issue, what he didn't tell me was the amount of people that attended the how, 450 people I think, and the help and advice re my nerves was second to none. I have a lot to thank him for and I still stay in touch with him today

I have heard of some "names anglers" but dont follow them so know very little about any of them, but i am working my way thru the Korda Podcasts and find them very interesting. This was probably the most in depth so far.
I thought the gift and chat about Jan Porter was very poignant, touching and respectful
He admits he needs managing delicately .... I get the impression that might be an understatement lol ... he has been through a lot of employers/sponsors etc and seems to fall out with a lot of them ... Perhaps his personality is a little to high maintanance and direct for the modern employer (he was right though, Nash alarms did look **** lol) ... he certainly doesnt lack confidence!
I found his self admission, explanations and repeated apologies of how badly he has treated his partner/wife (Kathy?) in the past a little uncomfortable at times. On the other hand she is obviously now his rock,
It was refreshing he spoke about various brands he had worked with, praising and criticising where he felt necessary
Purely from a point of nosiness ... I would of liked him to have known on what Shimano did to break their relationship .... Iain touched on that it was to do with his mum which seems a little odd? ... obviously a sensitive subject still so understandable if he doesnt want to elaborate
I found it a very open and at times a brave conversation with a complex character who to me, sounds like has had his life bought sharply into perspective (understandably), with a remorseful tone and a feeling of some unresolved issues. I hope he gets a chance to build some of those bridges.
The biggest compliment i can give is that a 3hour long podcast flew by very quickly ... i wish him all the best for the future
and a big thumbs up to Korda, yet again leading the way ... this time, in quality and professional podcasts. I havent always enjoyed the way they market or portray angling, but these podcasts, along with Monster Carp show have taken it to another level

I listened to it in the gym on my headphones
Had to stop listening as it was killing me and couldn't concentrate, much more powerful listening that way.
I have always liked tong as he's a no bull**** kind of angler.

Not yet finished the podcast but wow is it powerful, I also think that it is really good of Korda with the way that they are interviewing different people who they have had issues with in the past for the good of everybody. One of the other podcasts mentioned that his and kordas relationship went sour but they still invite them onto the podcast which for me is a sign of a very adult company
A very emotional watch, not gonna lie it really did get to me. The love him and his wife have for each other is a beautiful thing, I prey that she doesn't loose him!!
Any news on how is Iain is doing ? I hope he'a doing well?

If his Instagram is anything to go by he is certainly getting out there and catching some awesome carp.
Long may it continue.

Send him a message on Instagram. I did after I listened to it some months ago and he replied back in good spirits. Some really nice comments on here. Sure he'd like to hear them first hand

Little update guys from Iain
Unfortunately Iain as been admitted back in to hospital, there is an obstruction in the bowel and it's causing a lot of discomfort and pain,
Tomorrow they are admitting him to the Dougie Mac hospice to get it his palliative care sorted and get him as comfortable as they can
Macca as told me not sugar coat things and tell you how it is, and how he as been told, the surgeon as been in today and said there is nothing they can do now and he could be moving into his final weeks,
That's all I can tell you for now but will keep you all updated
I've passed on messages to Mac of love and support, I think he's got his phone on him but please be mindful if he doesn't reply, if I can help with questions I will
At the moment he's having family time with cathy and his girls and his mum
