When I began these podcasts over two years ago, I was interested in the medium as a way of expressing ideas and views on the world of hospitality.
While I enjoyed recording each episode, it didn't occur to me how much time they would take up on a weekly basis if I was to do it as a side project. Naturally, other things in life take precedence and podcasts as a priority sadly suffered as a result.
In the meantime, thank you for your support and feedback - it is very much appreciated!
