My favourite dishwashing companion

I have long been a big fan of Meagan Francis, but with two kids underfoot, these days it's hard for me to keep up with all the fantastic content on her blog. To be honest, when I saw she was doing a podcast, I thought, "Oh no, even more content to keep up with!" But I decided to give it a try and now I actually listen to the podcast more regularly than I read the blog. I usually listen while I'm working in the kitchen when my kids are napping or in bed for the evening and I have even started looking forward to washing the dishes because I have good company!

Meagan is just a fantastic interviewer, with a wonderfully relatable personality and an excellent sense of humour. Her guests and topics are always interesting and I have often gone on to learn more about her guests because they are so intriguing. Keep up the great work, Meagan!!
