Things you didn’t realise you absolutely must have
Another great show from the master explainer, giving the how-to on things that make such a difference that you’ll kick yourself for not knowing about them. Watch the video show if you can, but the audio show works fine too. Leo is such an experienced radio presenter that he knows how to paint a picture with words.
