Hi everyone, its Regan here, Kelvyn's daughter. I'm sure you will have heard the terrible news by now that my wonderful dad passed away suddenly the other day. I thought I'd record this little update about the Living With Licensing podcast.
If my dad had been in contact with you, in regards to being a guest on the podcast, please can you get in contact with me at regan(at)rykersear.com Obviously the (at) should be @ - I just want to avoid bots trying to get my email address.
Thank you all, and speak soon.
