‘I recently listened to my friend Deon Wiggett’s true-crime podcast, My Only Story (myonlystory.org). It was an emotional rollercoaster, raw and honest. I am in awe of his journey of courage and determination. It’s a “must-hear” but it comes with a trigger warning, so don’t say I didn’t warn you!’

‘I’m loving How I Built This, which follows the stories of businesses – big and small. Recently they focused on the food industry with some really talented chefs weighing in on Covid-19, how it’s affecting the food industry and how to pivot during this time. It’s given me some great ideas and inspiration.’

The podcasts I’ve been listening to and enjoy are mainly hosted by comedians: The Joe Rogan Experience, The Comedian’s Comedian with Stuart Goldsmith, WTF with Marc Maron, The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God, Lesser Known Somebodies hosted by Simmi Areff, and Monday Morning Podcast hosted by Bill Burr.’
