The Cricket Podcast is produced by the media team of Advocacy For All.
George and Isaac both work at Advocacy For All...Isaac as an advocate supporter and George as a peer supporter.
Every now and then, their conversations turn to cricket. So instead of boring everyone around them, they thought they should try a podcast. Especially as George the peer supporter is the true cricket expert with Isaac as his trusty novice. By Episode 2 they will have come up with a more imaginative name than "The Cricket Podcast". We sincerely hope you enjoy the first episode.
