We’re back! In episode 46, we catch up on recommendations and reflect on the months since Britain went into lockdown. From now on, we'll be releasing episodes monthly, resuming our format of exploring a person, a number and an image. As always, send in your suggestions through social media or by email. The views expressed in this podcast are our own.
