So, who would have thought it? We've got to 10 episodes already. So I thought I'd do something a little bit different and stop and reflect on my podcasting journey so far.

The short version is: 'I'm loving it'!

... but it has had its share of excitement, a few ups and downs,  and with lots of learning along the way. The one thing that is certain is that I am not short of inspirational podcast guests, with lots more fascinating people coming up, and I am so enjoying chatting to everyone and collecting their 'lemon lightbulbs'.

Lots of shoutouts to podcast contributors and listeners. We have listeners from all around the world! THANK YOU!! Please leave a review.

So,  Amanda Pritchard, Chief Executive of the NHS, I hope you're enjoying the 'Wild Card Whose Shoes' series. Don't forget, I set up this podcast series, especially for you. Perhaps you're one of the listeners flagged up in the tantalizing statistics. But as we know, data only comes alive when we have human stories. And so huge thanks to everyone helping me to tell them here.
