  • A great way to get quick and effective up-dates on topical issues

    I think this is a really good initiative. The three podcasts I have listened to have all been very well put together with interesting and informative dialogues. I like the quick summary at the end which gives the key “take-aways”. Hope you can keep the standard up, tuning in is 10 minutes well spent. Thank you.
