  • If cross is boss

    Then the Crosscast is the boss of British CX podcasts. One of the highlights of the season is the return of the Crosscast.

  • How I missed this all season?

    Great podcast with a nice mix of news and interviews and well produced as well. Keep the good work. That "60 seconds to start" makes me smile every time as I've been hearing it all season at the Central League and National Trophy.
