    MessyTalks After Dark

    Here we go..Welcome to the finale episode of MessyTalks Season 2! This one is a bit different to all our other eps, it's slightly existential, nostalgic and reflective but definitely frickin awesome. We are joined by two fabulous people - Parmis Hassani & Tom Graves. Parmis was the CEO of Nova Rova and literally builds droids for fun while Tom is probably the most famous person in HAL who seems to have it all figured out..... Along with Moses, we chat about uni fatigue, feelings about finishing uni, the challenge of figuring out what you want to do and the all important question - what Olympic sport would you dominate in.   -------------------------------- To all our wonderful listeners & the MESS committee - thank you for sticking with us this far *insert heart emoji* To Georgie, Moses, Tej & David - thank you for helping build this podcast, MessyTalks would definitely not be an award wining show without you. To Amalia & the new W+E port - good luck, ya'll got this! And finally to Sally and Jasmine...Well Done and Congratulations on creating a show that has been listened to over 1,940 times. You've created a platform that amplifies the voices of those doing remarkable work that sometimes goes unnoticed - thank you for persevering and for sharing this with me :) -Rashi xx
