I love your style of interview, Andrew.
Always so kind and empathetic, and such a calming voice.
Wow Andrew I love your podcasts. This one from Peter Norris really brought tears to my eyes. What a life this youngster had to endure yet he stayed true to himself never to want to follow in his fathers footsteps. I feel such warmth towards him and he is a son any mother can be proud of. Canβt wait to hear the next episode of his life. Thank you and greetings from Howick The Midlands Kwa Zulu Natal South Africa πΏπ¦
