Welcome to a brand new podcast by Gresham College called Any Further Questions?
This is a podcast where we sit down with one of our speakers for an in-depth candid discussion on the lecture they just gave. Due to our strict 1 hour lecture time, we get tons of questions from our online and in-person audience that go unanswered.
This is the place they are answered.
