  • Episode 12: racism, covid and a Barnard Castle eye test
    We are back after a long break, in which we were very busy with the day job. In this episode we discuss two huge issues which have dominated 2020: coronavirus and racism.

It’s a long one, but we hope you enjoy it and please get in touch with any questions or comments, or topics you’d like us to cover in subsequent episodes - [email protected].
