Olympic gold medal winner Etienne Stott chats with former MP and
paddler Tom Watson and the Chief Executive of The Outdoor
Industries Association, Andrew Denton.

There's some great chat here about the work done to allow

transformational possibilities during the recovery from the Covid

Tom Watson discusses his story from junior politician to deputy

Andrew talks about some of his work. Including his lobbying
to extend the Government's 'Cycle to Work scheme' to cover
paddling and running.
