Hart comments “being shortlisted at the British podcast awards is way beyond how far I thought I would get to with the podcast, just being at this point is simply amazing.

“When I look back at everything that’s happened in my life being a solo parent, the loss and all surrounding.

“Every setback, the doubters, the sceptics, the positivity but also the negativity as well, and at times when support was extremely hard to find especially online, this moment says everything.

“This isn’t just recognition for a podcast; it’s a reminder that resilience, consistency, and believing in your purpose can take you further than you ever imagined.

“Whatever happens next, I’m grateful for the journey and everyone who has genuinely supported Real With Ric.”
