Here we go, part two of last week's recording with returning guests, Bill Bordass and Adrian Leaman.

This continues our response to that Times article that was doing the rounds last week, now looking at what we should be doing, in lieu of appropriate and demanding guidance from the institutions that dictate terms.

We pick up where we left off. Enjoy.
