This is a normal post Thanks for this, I will listen later - have a click
- but I really cannot stand BBC Sounds as an app / platform. I constantly have to battle with it to play any series in order. It's cluttered. It's hard to find the stuff I've bookmarked.

This is a normal post
Having listened to the first couple of episodes or whatever, it's a little repetitive and far too hagiographic for my liking, but I'm going to stick with it as the later ones seem more promising.
