  • All the things you could want

    Rigour & Flow provides the personal, cultural and business questions and discussions we are all thinking and might be scared to share. Tamanda and Aiwan’s vulnerability, openness and research means I go away from every episode feeling like I’ve learnt more about them, key issues and the world and I’m so deeply grateful for that. A must listen and follow!!

  • Aptly named - Rigour and Flow - what a great podcast

    Finding Tamanda and Aiwan has been an absolute joy. There is RIGOUR in the way that topics are explored and openly discussed, and wow does the conversation just FLOW! Now that season 2 has ended, I don’t know what I’m going to do without these 2 newly found friends whose intelligent reflections sparked interest, learning, thought, an eagerness to converse, and some great belly laughs. Don’t miss out - this is one of the best podcasts around right now. Sit down, relax and listen.

  • Essential Listening

    I LOVE this podcast. The dialogue between Aiwan and Tamanda is intelligent, caring and curious regardless of the episode topics. And the topics are RELEVANT, relatable and almost always (somehow) fun—even when they are challenging.
