Crisis What Crisis?
Andy Coulson launched the Crisis What Crisis? podcast in June 2020, in the midst of the global pandemic. As the situation continues to unravel, so too does the uncertainty of our ever-changing world. Crisis is still very much the shared experience. Crisis What Crisis? hopes to provide a few landing lights…some practical guidance for anyone who is facing a problem in their lives, whatever its nature, to help find their way through.
There are plenty of podcasts out there that tell the stories of the successful, but there are far fewer that look hard into the world of the unravelled. We think there is enormous value to be had by listening to those stories and that’s what Crisis What Crisis? is all about.
