Great Show
A great way to make the KMs fly passed on a long run.
Great Podcast
I really like The Brick Session Podcast. Mark leads the way with his acerbic wit and at times brutal honesty which is needed. Being an ex-UK living in NZ I love to tune in whenever there is a new episode and listen to great advice from Mark, Andy and Richard. The team works well together. Interviews are spot-on and challenging. As the show evolves and new co-presenters come onboard it keeps things fresh. Great work Mark and the team.
Tuned in to his audience
Mark has an amazing ability to ask relevant questions that provoke interesting answers and conversations. He balances perfectly the ability to allow the interviewee to speak while also providing his own knowledgeable and interesting insights along the way. A great overall podcast that cannot be missed each week!
