  • A non-negotiable listen

    I listen to these episodes weekly and look forward to each one. Nicky’s interviewing style means that she asks the questions you want to know and finds all sorts of things out about her guests. The range of women here are inspirational and I’ve learnt something from each of them. Highly recommend.
