  • Chocolate box of interviews!

    So much to choose from and each interview different. Loved the Tedros episode, really didn’t know what to expect. There’s politics and humanity all bundled up together. Brilliant.

  • Magical Mishal’s Mixture does it!

    What an interesting, informative and inspiring amalgam of interviews. Everyone goes on about Musk but I strongly believe it’s the ‘magical Mishal mixture’ that does it. From Mark Carney to K-pop and Machado to Musk - a joy (and sometimes also a challenge) to listen to!
