  • The podcast could be so much more…..

    To be monthly, and to only last for 20-30 minutes, is disappointing. It is also disappointing that you only ever talk about London and London firms. Surely you could be weekly and cover the whole country in terms of stories? There are plenty of interesting stories out there that have nothing to do with London.
