Someone said to me I should collate all my different podcast interviews in one place, so here goes. These are all appearances I have made on other people’s podcasts, not my own! I’ve added links to listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, but if you use another podcast platform, you’ll find them there too. I’ve sometimes used the original podcast blurb to tell you a bit about what the podcast contains. I’ll update this list as I do new ones…
Let’s start of with what I think are the Top Eight Podcasts I’ve ever done…
