When I told Padmaja, a previous guest on this show, that I was hitting 100 episodes in this season, she said we must do something together. And that is how Padmaja and I ended up recording this milestone episode. When I first started podcasting, I just wanted to have a go and do something technically challenging yet gave me a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. And 100 episodes later, I am still happy to do this despite the fact that I really need to carve time out to podcast.
