Facet: Recent Episodes
Facet
We all deal with the same things in different ways. On Facet we look at these facets of our lives and the different ways we deal with them.
This week is an offtrack discussion about politics and sports.
We will be taking the next month off due to some personal stuff and when we come back we will be moving to a fortnightly (every two weeks) schedule.
