This week we talk to Alia and Hudaabout what it is like to be a commuter student travelling from home to university every day. Along the way we talk abiut what its like to be a twin. Many people think Rod and Andy are twins but spoiler alert, we're not!

THis week Rod and Andy consider assessments. Why we do them how we approach them and what we think of them. Along the way we are going to tilt at a few windmills and inevitably indulge in a few rabbit holes of discussion.

THis week we tke on the history of the world. Spoiler alert biscuits were consumed during the recording. We discuss how we distort out own personal history through th elens of our lived experience and how this might impact on healthcare from both a patient and providers viewpoint.

This week we reflect on our experiences as learners and how it informs our practice as teachers. As usual it was recorded while under the influence of tea and cake and takes the usual diversionary pathways down rabbit holes, along dead end lanes and and into totally unexpected meadows of lovliness.
