Aucademy, Especially Interesting!

David and Tigger meet, yet again, the amazing Spencer of Yo-Yo fame! At the end of our last podcast together we knew we had to do another and here it is!

The three of us discussing our love of Coffee. At the end of this recording David and I just wanted to jet over to Kansas to  enjoy a coffee with the lush Spencer:)

At last, our latest Podcast, and it's a follow up from one we've done before, It's a Lord of the Rings Part Two! David and Tigger are Joined by Debbie Hughes to delve deeper into the lore of Lord of the Rings. There are more books out there, not just the Hobbit, LOTRs, there is The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Tom Bombadil and more! We discuss some of these and we also discuss our early thoughts on The Rings of Power.

As usual, we could have gone on for ages longer, and I think we will be booking Debbie for part three soon! 

Enjoy and S Cuio mae!

David and Tigger are joined by Sam, an awesomely Autistic individual! Today we learn about the history of the iPhone. From that initial showing way back in 2007, and how the world of communication has changed because of this amazing product. (I, Tigger, can remember seeing that first broadcast live in 2007, a pivotal moment in my history and its one of my go-to videos to watch and re-watch).

Sam takes through this first iPhone, and across the following models:)

Bobbi discusses her amazing experiences of the 1980s, music, fashions events! A lush discussion, especially for Tigger as he remembers it well! This is definitely a part one with more to follow!

"Many years ago I became a parent of 2 beautiful children and my career as a professional makeup artist ended. Then my journey into the autistic experience and the "SEN" system began. . I decided that I was going to be as expert as I possibly could be about my children. I devoured every book I could find, attended every seminar, workshop, conference I could and kept going." 

"I provide presentations, workshops, webinars and contribute to conferences.  I create and deliver my own content and bespoke the content to what is required, needed or wanted."
