  • Loved the interview with Tim Marshall

    I am new to this podcast. I looked for a podcast with Tim Marshall as I am currently really enjoying one of his books.

    The interview drew out Tim’s humour and was a really interesting conversation which really gave me a sense of the man, his personal journey into journalism and what he is interested in.

    Brilliant!

    What better way to learn and get inspired, than to take a peek into someone’s personal journey? What I Did Next gives us a seat at the table with people who have listened to their hearts and followed their passions, these are some good stories! Malak is a gracious interviewer, and each episode makes you feel like you just sat in on a really interesting conversation. You will walk away with a new book to read, maybe film to watch, and always something to think about. Highly recommend it! 🌟
