  • My weekly indulgence into distilling the world of Tech

    Both Matt and Chris are ageing like a fine whiskey....

    Mark Twain once wrote..

    “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.”

    WB40 podcast is like a good whiskey...savour the cynicism, have a deep smell of the undertones and then sip the humour and enjoy the breath of knowledge shared by some of the sharpest, on point guests that a fine Malt can offer...go on indulge yourself!

  • A regular listen

    A regular on my playlist with some nice discussion between Chris and Matt on tech and work place culture.

    Great and diverse range of interviewees highlight the need to look outside your sector to sometimes draw inspiration and move forward.
