The Stranger on the Bridge with guests Jonny Benjamin and Neil Laybourn

In this episode Cally talks to strangers on the bridge, Jonny Benjamin and Neil Laybourn, about the January morning in 2008 when Jonny, then 20, stood on Waterloo Bridge, about to jump when a stranger, Neil, saw his distress &amp; stopped to talk with him – a decision that saved his life.
