Hi and welcome to the Team Deacons podcast. This podcast is a dialogue between

Roger and James Deacons often joined in the conversation by a guest.

It's very informal, and we never know where it will go.

We're connecting through Zoom,

so bear that in mind when you hear the audio. If you'd like to submit a question or
