Podcast Series 2
After a very successful first run of podcasts there was sure to be another series. But this time around something very different happened: listeners had to pay to download them. The series was available through iTunes and audible.com. Some doubted that people would pay for what they could previously get for free, but this was another amazing chart topper!
