IT IS OUR TENTH EPISODE! And we’re back in the flesh! We’ve come to the conclusion we occasionally have an attitude problem on this podcast so today we are changing the pace and being positive AND we’re talking about green flags: the emerald gems that are the positive things you look for in a partner.
