Hi guys, absolutely love your podcast. I've recently discovered it and am listening through your entire back catalogue. Thank you so much for doing this I've learnt a lot! I've noticed in newer episodes Tom's name isn't in the credits. I really hope he's not gone for good! Fwiw I'm a recently graduated dentist in Adelaide Australia Warm regards, Chris
