    S2E2 - Christmas day!

    IT'S CHRISTMAS! In this seasonal episode of Commercial Corner, Paul and Vicky are podcasting, live from their broom cupboard on campus - just in time for you to squeeze them in between opening presents and the big dinner.
    They find out if procurement people are any good at buying gifts, and they give a full review of the year that we have all fondly called 2023. So, if you've ever wondered what life is like for a pair of supply chain professionals (who're in a university, but are not academics - and who work in finance, but are not accountants) then this is the XL mega bumper-sized, selection box edition episode for you!
