Anne Chats
Anne has decided to delve into the oversaturated world of podcasts with a podcast of her own. As the title suggest it involves Anne chatting, not to herself, but to people she wants to know more about and would like you to know more about too. The ethos of the show is simple, everyone has a story to tell. We hope you enjoy her efforts and look forward to your interaction with the show as it evolves in the coming weeks.
