A lefty found a home

I’ve been a lefty my entire adult life. Tim has helped me find a home centre right pod. It challenges my rusted on position without demanding I change. I’d all but given up on finding a place that gives me space to think, be encouraged and feel able to rethink, affirm and yes even move a little.

Slipping

I’m a leftie who’s a long time listener to Charlie Sykes when he had this program. Always looked forward to Fridays when Charlie had Tim Miller on. So when Charlie left and Tim took over hooray! Tim - you’re making the classic mistake of people who are doing well - you’re making it about you, and it’s getting boring.

Seamless transition from Charlie to Tim

The Bulwark remains, as always, sharp and informative. Tim has superbly picked up where Charlie left off. I do love the added soundtrack send off. Trip -Hopping with R.L Burnside made my morning.
