In My Own Time: Thoughts from Fort Buggeration - Introduction

Welcome to In My Own Time: Thoughts from Fort Buggeration. I’m Paul, and this is my space to think out loud, reflect, wander through memories, comment on the world, and sometimes just sit with a cup of tea and the sound of my own thoughts. From this imagined outpost, 'll be sharing whatever’s on my mind: stories from my life, thoughts on the state of the world, and reflections on being human. No rush. No rules. Just… in my own time.

My first placement on my Oxford Polytechnic social work course was in the Probation Department in Gloucester, where I was living at the time.

This is a brief podcast concerning my placement supervisor and an offender pulling the wool over my eyes.

In future podcasts, I aim to describe various experiences I had over a period of almost 40 years.

This is, hopefully, the first of an intermittent series on my life as a social worker.

This episode is not as polished as I would have liked.

There are parts of this podcast which I may expand upon in future podcasts.

Thank you for your time and interest.

Please accept my apologies for posting this before. I'm new to this, and I'm trying to sort out the best and easiest (!) way to publish my podcast to multiple sites. Please bear with me.
