Ben and Tim have now survived two seasons without getting cancelled!  (Full disclosure – no-one pays us, so we can’t really get cancelled!).

In this final episode for the second season, Tim and Ben reflect on our recent discussions with Simon ‘Hawks’ Hawken and Anthony ‘Harry’ Moffitt, as well as a whole bunch of excellent listener questions and feedback – including a veritable library worth of outstanding books that we haven’t read!

As always, please let us know what you think.  We’d love to hear from you – please email [email protected].

See you for Season 3!
