Happy New Year everyone! On this show we have Peter Osborn and Eddy Canfor-Dumas , back with the second installment of The Talking Revolution.

The book, The Talking Revolution has just been published on  Amazon and Eddy and Peter are busy responding to queries about it from across the world.  In tribute to all the great men out there in the world, who may or may not use Gillette products, I play a great record called  Big Hearted Man by my long time friend, Jimmy Golding! Following the theme we have some more conversation on the We are relationships chapter of the book. In an age when sometimes there is so little to rejoice about, its great to hear such positive conversation.
