It was a hearty debate squeezed into the hypothetical format. I’m a huge fan of host Michael Nolan and felt like he kept the balance between keeping it light and tackling the big issues.

Simonne – the List Operators were the shiz, hey? I was getting an abdominal workout from all the laughter.

Jodie – I hope ‘Steve’ will get to come to lots of the EWF events. And yes, Michael Williams is passionate about literature in all forms, and extremely intelligent. I think he’s going to do really well in the role.
