Alvaro is back and we venture into a political debate considering the incontrovertible similarities of conditions and actions from those of 1789-1794 and the last few years in the USA and Europe.

And what of democracy? Surely giving the people the power over government agency is good for all! Right?

So many questions remain unanswered however these are our first tentative steps in the direction of what may yet become a complete train of thought on the question of 'DEMOCRACY'!

After a break of a week we are back to talk about sports betting in the US and why it has taken so long for sports betting to open up, the how of it as well as discussing the consequences. It's a well-trodden topic in regions where gambling has long since been allowed openly, but in the US, a phenomenon that has almost always remained underground, the bookies are popping up everywhere...slowly!

I wanted to give a more detailed explanation for the series of podcasts I have begun to produce with friends. I wanted to make sense of my choices and to re-affirm the reasoning at the base of it all.

Thereafter I allow my thoughts to wonder and I talk a little about what we experience everyday. However I wanted to take a moment to consider what comes next. How do we prepare for life post-Covid? What world do we want to see upon the day of re-emergence?

Alvaro is a German-Spanish Berliner who has studied law and is everything you would expect of a passionate and opinionated young idealist. He assumes the role of critic here, though his normal approach is one of measured determination.

He analyses whether the government should be limited in the measures it seeks to implement in fighting Covid-19 and suggests that a curfew is a step too far.

A debate with Alvaro is always a pleasantly challenging affair...

Ani is another friend I have met since leaving London, through my brother.

She has had a wonderfully rich past, traversing many cultures and lands and has some fascinating insights into culture, community and leadership.

She is bold and frequently challenges herself and a little of these characteristics is on show when joins me here for a chat, and I am eternally grateful for her time.

Tatiana is an energetic and inspirational woman who works in a challenging sector and applies the kind of power and dedication, even through these difficult times, that one can only stand back and admire.

We cover topics including Tatiana's early years, the publishing and journalism sector, sustainability goals, the oil industry and renewables, gender inequality and mental health.

This is the first of what I hope will eventually be many talks with Tatiana.

This is where Chris and I just talk and generally plan a couple of things for future reference.

It's completely unscripted and who knows, it may even get better as we progress...

Chris will be my frequent visitor on the podcast quest...and yes, he's an extremely patient chap!
