Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast
One of my favourite podcasts, always a reliable listen with good stories, the hosts Richard and Sarah are interesting and interested.. and I appreciate the fact they get straight into the subject in the very first few seconds, unlike a lot of American podcast hosts who waffle on about themselves for 5-10 mins! Well done.
