Simon O’Neill

Unfortunately I didn’t hear all of Jessie’s interview with Simon O’Neill. Any chance it could be repeated or made into a podcast?? I hope so!! Thanks

Fantastic

What a great host Jesse is. I really appreciate his sense of humour and friendliness towards the guests. His questioning is great and I’ve switched from nine to noon to afternoons as a result.
