  • Engaging

    Essential, entertaining, engaging - love love love this podcast. I’ve arrived late so I’m picking all the eps about my issues (lots) - but eventually I’ll listen to all. James is fantastic at asking pertinent questions and making links to applicable contexts from the Prof’s knowledge and advice.
