Love Jazzer’s Singing ,

Dynamic and insightful

I listened to this podcast after being recommended by a friend, I’m founder of a women’s online co-working space and found these conversations lively, funny, moving and I learned a lot. I’ll admit that as I am not affected by the issues faced by the families Kids’ Village is working to support I might not have come across this podcast without a nudge but I’m really glad I did.
