GBA 343 Nik (from Nik Lettuce Clubhouse)

Summary: In GBA 343 we get better acquainted with Nik. He talks about children's entertainment, making podcasts for children, his journey "off island" from Guernsey - through lots of different jobs and parts of the country - ending up as an audio producer in London, why being a teacher wasn't for him and lots more. Nik makes Nik Lettuce Clubhouse which is a brilliant podcast for children. Before we recorded this conversation we had just recorded my guest appearance on his show which you can hear here (and most other places you can hear podcasts): https://niklettuceclubhouse.com/2018/08/19/the-dave-pickering-episode-flo-writes-a-story/ Nik plugs: Nik Lettuce Clubhouse: https://niklettuceclubhouse.com/ I plug: Mansplaining Masculinity: The Book https://unbound.com/books/mansplaining-masculinity/ What About the Men?
