单集文稿 ...

  • Let's play a bit of the intro music and then, yeah, let's.

  • Let's go on our first live episode, God help us all.

  • So obviously, this is the you look like me podcast.

  • Here we make sense of the life and families of donor conceived people.

  • This is my story.

  • It's also a place for yours.

  • And to make that point, I want to welcome Amanda.

  • Thank you so much for joining.

  • We were going to do a regular episode and then we thought, what would be better than a live episode?

  • Lots of things, apparently, because it did not run smoothly, but we are up.

  • It's so great to see you again because obviously we have been, you know, we've done stuff together before.

  • We appeared side by side in the ITV doc, which was a lot of fun, but obviously I was there very fleetingly, and that episode was really centered kind of 50% around you and your story.

  • And I know there's been loads of people who have watched and I know there's been loads of people who weren't able to watch and really wanted to.

  • So briefly, why don't you tell us a little bit about what was covered in your episode?

  • What was your story?

  • Yeah, so I found out I was donor conceived in my early 20s, and I saw the advert on Facebook, of all places, for the documentary, and I just thought, why not?

  • Let's see what happens.

  • So they took my DNA, they put them on two of the main websites that existed out there.

  • I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say the names on the live podcast, but everyone knows what they probably are called.

  • And then they told me my matches and then they supported me basically to kind of reach out to who I wish to reach out to, which for me was everybody involved.
