As I fast approach my 300th episode, I wanted to share my reflections, insights and top tips on podcasting. In this episode I share the do's and don'ts of podcasting and the things I would do differently, with the gift of hindsight.

Now, normally we do recording ahead, so I am normally a couple of episodes ahead of myself. So in particular, when it came to my mom passing away, we did a couple of extra guest episodes, which were easier when you didn't have to hear me too much, and they'd been prerecorded ages ago.
