Hi There,
I loved listening to this today (as I always enjoy your podcast which is new time!). Towards the end of the program Loch talks about the audio recording of the 30 glimpses that he made. I’ve scoured online and can’t seem to find it. Do you happen to have a link to this or could point me in the right direction?
Thank you so much!
Warmly,
Kara
