“Welcome to our first ever podcast,” the Red Red Wine stars tweeted. “We are delighted to start our series (recorded before lockdown) with a very special guest Dr Mike Barnes.

“Professor Barnes brings his expertise to global medical cannabis and CBD wellness organisations, educates clinicians and patients and advocates for a sensible and robust approach to medical cannabis prescribing in the UK, we are BIG fans of his work!”

They added: “We are inviting guests that we find incredibly interesting and entertaining to come on and have a chat about all-sorts from their influences in music to legalising cannabis and everything in between.

“Please Subscribe and we would love to hear your suggestions of who you would like to hear on future Podcasts.”

The new project comes after the pair released a cover of Bill Withers’ classic tune Lean On Me to benefit the NHS, amid the coronavirus crisis.
