Thank you for this podcast. It was really helpful and you guys crack me up! Incidentally, you did sound like Mutley at the end there. Love that.
I'll go and post a review and listen to the next one.
I'm just starting out as a proofreader and I'm finding your website is like gold dust. Apologies for the cliche!
