Profile picture for Mike Elder

Mike Elder

After a career in school leadership, Mike now produces podcasts and provides podcasting services through Free Range Podcasting (www.freerangepodcasting.co.uk).
Historically, succinctness has not been one of Mike's defining characteristics, so the goal of providing meaningful and worthwhile content in 60 second episodes is not without its challenges for him... but he reckons that if he can do it, others will be able to join in as well, which would be great!
