Fascinating Podcast

It is always fascinating to learn “inside details” about what some of these world leaders are like to work for. So far it would seem that it is better to hear Hamish and his panel talk about these leaders than it would be to work for them. Good to hear Hamish hosting this podcast for those who miss Hamish at “Q & A” and crave a more serious side of his journalistic skills than can be found watching “The Project”.
