    I am just wondering why the guests are just talking on their own? It is not as good without the banter from the hosts. Why the change of format?

  • Educational and interesting

    Love this Podcast. Love all the questions asked and discussion that occurs - often questions that as a listener I am wondering! I learn so much from it and promote it far and wide within the NDIS Provider I work for, educating our Clinicians about language, experience and being person centred. Thank you!
