Making connections from nowhere, so just browsing the podcast groups I saw Grace's profile and was up for being a guest - we had a quick call around new years and was intriguing to hear about her background in academic, producing and now in software.
As Grace was a seasoned podcaster the interview flowed really well, we made the 8 hour time difference work out and talked through her journey whilst giving great insight into what may help new comers.
