The upside of Zoom meetings are they are being recorded by everyone, is that an upside?

More chat that is humanly natural with Andrew the man with a small village of Smurfs living in his beard!

Episode #11

What a treat to catch up with Jeff.

You don't meet too many people these days that bring a smile to your face and make you feel good when they simply say hello, Jeff is that guy.

I still remember the day I said to Jeff I want to do radio and his response was you are on the path and years later Jeff and I are catching up on a podcast.

Jeff is a pioneer in UAE radio having done all there is to do from presenting through to creating a niche brand with PearlFM.

Through all his ups and downs Jeff is this happy optimistic force you want to be around.
