Tudor Rickards and I are both retired (emeritus) professors from the University of Manchester. About a decade and a half ago we were amongst the first academics at Manchester to start blogging - entirely by coincidence. Fifteen or so years later we have also both just started podcasting - also completely independently.

We thought it might be worth having a chat about why we both decided to podcast. Enjoy.

This episode explores the various ways by which Prime Minister Boris Johnson might be held to account for the lockdown busting 'events' in Downing St. 

This is the first RED TEAM podcast.

It's a very short intro (5 mins) to what I am trying to do with the RED TEAM podcast.

Hope you enjoy it and come back for more.
