  • Love this

    I always look forward to a new episode from this podcast. It offers such a variety of topics which arise via organic conversations among people of fascinating backgrounds. Tam deftly facilitates the drawing out of participants’ knowledge, experiences, and great stories about London’s fascinating past. As an American who has not lived in London, I feel the city is a little more relatable and digestible as a result of this show!
