Biographics is one of my favourites

Simon is my favourite YouTuber after myself, “Man in a Shed Andy P” but all he’s channels are great, favourites are Business Blaze and Side projects, which to be far many are Megaprojects. But for sure he’s channels are all enjoyable, waste far to much time enjoying his channels, keep up the good work.

What I really find funny is his business blaze reviews, they all try to do the in jokes, but there not our boy epithet the blaze.

I love each and everyone of them. Odd how things become a part of ones life and I should imagine this could fit into absolutely anyones.

Short & Sweet

These podcasts are very informative but they are quite short, and so you can listen in quite easily when you have only a few minutes to spare. If you have longer then, as long as you have a few of them in your ipod, you can just let them play on until you have had enough. The subject matter is very diverse: sometimes serious and technical, but other times quite light-hearted.
