Unfiltered - Episode 14 - Determination with The King of Chemo Iain Ward

Author: Taylor James October 25, 2022 Duration: 47:06

Welcome to The Waffle Shop Podcast Unfiltered with your hosts Taylor James and Emma Tindall!


We’re going to be giving you the unfiltered chat around all the subjects which we think don’t get enough air time; from sex fetishes, alien invasions and polyamory, to social media, conspiracy theories and hallucinogens.


Each week Taylor and Emma will be joined by a different guest who is an expert on the chosen theme, intertwined with some fun segments including ‘Sing It or Sack It’ and hearing from you guys about your woes and waffles of the week


This week is all about Determination and we couldnt be joined by a more determined person, the incredibly inspiring Iain Ward aka The King of Chemo!


Iain Ward was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and is now on a mission to spend every minute of the time he has left raising money for cancer research


We have a waffle about how he signed up for a medical trial in which a MRI scan was needed, during this scan a small, supposedly harmless, tumour was detected


A short while later it was confirmed that he had stage three brain cancer, which normally comes with a life expectancy of five years


“I wanted to do something physical to show other people with medical or mental issues that they need not be defined by their condition"


Iain really is a force to be reckoned with and if you want to help his cause please donate what you can here

Hosted by Taylor James, The Waffle Shop is built on the idea that the most meaningful talks happen when you’re just chatting about everything and nothing at the same time. This podcast lives in the space where personal stories about music, the realities of mental health, and the daily grind of adult life all intersect. It’s less about finding perfect answers and more about sharing the experience of figuring it out in your thirties, embracing the minor frustrations and small victories that define our days. Each conversation feels like sitting down with friends who aren’t afraid to be honest about the beautiful chaos of their journeys. Taylor brings in a different guest for every episode, and together they have a proper, meandering waffle-digging into past experiences, current challenges, and the odd bit of pop culture. You’ll hear genuine reflections on self-improvement, societal pressures, and the personal journals we all keep in our heads. The result is a comforting, often funny, and deeply human listen that reminds you that navigating life is a shared endeavor. Tune in for a blend of society, culture, and education, all filtered through the lens of real, unscripted conversation.
