Three years ago we started this little adventure called The Back to Front Show. Since then we’ve somehow managed to record 39 shows. Not the best of averages but who’s counting?

In our milestone 40th show, we discuss the cake that never happened, Keir’s favourite new TV show, standing desks and end with a discussion that starts with Sarah Parmenter’s recent blog post and ends with thoughts on specialisation.

You may also be pleased to hear that our “and finally” section returns this week and features a great satire on our industry.
