Adventures in Podcasting
It won’t surprise any of you that I’ve started a show on podcasting!


21st Century Work Life podcast and leading remote teams
We talk about how the world of work and our attitudes to work are changing. I’ve been hosting this show for over 270 episodes now!


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!


My Pocket Psych
I co-host with Dr Richard MacKinnon, organisational psychologist, who’s the one who knows what he’s talking about, I just go along for the ride! The show is all about helping you to thrive at work, not just survive it.


Gastronostalgia
Hablar de comida es un placer…

My friend Tomás and I prepare four courses every month. We talk about food, its history, its value etc


Facilitation Stories – brought to you by IAF England &Wales
Part of a team hosting and producing a fortnightly show for facilitators, by facilitators.


Word Maze
What I’m learning about writing. (Or what I learned over a few years, as this show is paused.)


En clave de podcast
With co-host Craig Wealand from Inglés Podcast. For 21 episodes, we interviewed a range of podcasters broadcasting in Spanish. And during the second half, we talked about them in English, behind their backs.


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.)



Now for the shows I was proud to guest on:
