Utterly useful but...

Thanks Lucy for your wide range of topics covered and diligent preparation for each podcast. Like others, i feel it’s so useful to hear info pertaining to older children. And we love your book ‘10 Steps’ too. Is there something you can do though to improve the quality of your interviewee’s transmissions. The last few have been a disappointing and detract from the delivery of the message quite significantly. Trust you appreciate the constructive feedback.
