Great title, great podcast, great host!

As with all Roifield Brown productions, this podcast is such an enjoyable and easy listen. I am intrigued about who future guests will be, but if the first couple are anything to go by then we are in for a treat. How welcome it is to hear from people with colourful stories as well as being people of colour. Roifield has such an easy going conversationalist style which gently challenges whilst also getting the best from his interviewee. Great start to this new podcast, can’t wait for the next episode.

Really Interesting

I’m not a person who would give time to Calvin Robinson, but Roifield left room for Calvin to talk, but not overly so. Calvin can come across as an ogre, but not via this interview, which made it a great listen.

Good work Mr Brown,

Leon.

Insightful conversation, great host

Roifield’s conversation with Calvin Robinson was fascinating. Brilliant questions, interesting answers, all round good value from Mr Brown and guest.
