Disclosure

I am employed by Global Radio and, while you can expect my views to coincide with those of my employer often, these are my personal views and not those of Global Radio. Should any content attract paid sponsorship editorial control shall rest entirely with me and the contributors. Sometimes I conduct consultancy and project work for organisations who are not in direct competition with Global Radio. Should this become relevant to content within Earshot I will specifically say so.
