Episode 2: User Engagement Team Spotlight

Welcome to another episode of The Goose Podcast! Back in our newsletter days, the Goose Editorial Team used to welcome new members of staff as one of our segments, so it was only fitting to invite new members of the User Engagement Team to join us on the podcast as our first ever special guests. Hear about their experience starting a new role during a pandemic, and see if you can guess the lie when we play 'two truths and a lie.' We also share what's coming up in the next few weeks, and some resources which can be found on our very own Goose Podcast Reading List [https://rl.talis.com/3/essex/lists/729ECC78-29E9-BC73-4F84-BA0D70DDAEB9.html].
