  • Depth and Diversity

    Found this podcast in 2023. Finally caught up listening to all the episodes today. Alex Stevenson has done a masterful job lining up experts from all over the world to present. As an anglophone, this variety gives perspectives often overlooked from a purely English speaking perspective. No doubt his professorial panel (Charles and Alex M) are a strong help in this. Well done!
