PODCAST - Time to Talk

Lez Graham's podcast

My Lez Graham's Time to talk podcast came about as a direct result of going into lockdown in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Lez Graham's podcast

I used to go live sporadically on Facebook and so when the pandemic hit it was natural for me to go live whilst in the wooded copse and chat about it. At that point the government had said we’d be in lockdown for one week.

As soon as it became apparent that we were going to be spending time in isolation I did what I could to ease the surreal passage of time and set up the podcast, the first one being that rambling dog walk.

At some point in the not-too-distant future I plan to invite back all of my original guests to see how life has been this side of the pandemic and what impact those two years had.

They were certainly interesting times and interesting chats that's for sure. Enjoy :-)
