Whilst looking for new guests and reaching out to people I don't know I messaged Georgina on LinkedIn as I saw her varied background and  recent solid broadcast experience so perhaps she was a newcomer to the industry. So after a few messages and chats we arranged the interview, this story involved a little bit of luck knowing a connection to get you started.
