So that's a fascinating question.
Because it's not always the case that those who end up... If you rewind sort of ten years, even less than that, to the time when Rory Stewart was a government minister...
You know, here's a very kind of erudite, well-read, academic, well-travelled chap, but I'm not sure many people, perhaps even Rory himself, would have thought that the thing he would end up going on to do and be perhaps more well-known for than being a Secretary of State was being a podcaster.
