Fantastic interview, as always!
Another great interview Evie, well done to you. Robbie certainly is using his marketing degree well in his answers with really good insight to his current role, plus past experiences he has had. I would not of known about Robbie at all if it wasn't for you, your team and your TH-cam channel. So again thank you. Keep going, already you are a fine journalist, BBC Newsnight presenter in the future?
Loved going to camp with you-seth
Hi, I stumbled across this youtube interview and enjoyed the content. It would be great if you could stay intouch with Gary and interview again as he has some fascinating insights and stories to tell. Keep up your great efforts.

Stephen Fry rocks! Great interview. 💯✅
Awesome interview Evie.
Wow Evie. I've just listened to your podcast interview with Stephen Fry. That must have been quite an experience to you as he is such a good and entertaining speaker. I have grown up watching and listening to him in many roles and have always enjoyed his performances. Listening to him talking about the Harry Potter books brought back many happy memories of having you reading the books to me from hard copy and electronic braille. I'm so impressed with your confidence and interviewing skills and I'll say to you now what I said when I retired - 'you will go far in this world!' So do believe in yourself and I look forward to more podcasts and to following your career.
Thank you for organising this and having a great conversation with Keith. Peter Barrett. Member of Viable😊
