Adventures in Podcasting
Something most podcasters have in common is that we love to talk about podcasting. And what better place to do that in than… a podcast about podcasting. Some solo shows, some interviews, and sometimes I take. a break.
Management Café
The first 23 episodes of this show are solo episodes, plus one guest episode with my friend Anish. From September 2022, these are co-hosted episodes, where Tim Burgess and I discuss over coffee an aspect of leadership and management. Part reflection/philosophy, part therapy!

Spain Uncovered podcast
40 episodes about Spanish culture, including solo shows and interviews with guests. A great complement to my book The A to Z of Spanish Culture. (Now in its 3rd edition, with new material by Paul Read.) The latest episode is a re-purpose of an interview with Anton Garcia Fernandez.
Now for the shows I was proud to guest on:
