Together, we have decided that the chapter of our lives dedicated to The Figure has come to a close. Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to and supported us over the last five years.

For our last episode, we explore the life and writing of the ‘philosopher-king’ Marcus Aurelius, the study that showed that 43% of women in senior positions are burned out and a collection of illustrations by Quentin Blake for the books of Roald Dahl.

We hope to create something else together in future - we don’t know what or when yet - and we will share what that is on our Instagram @FigurePodcast if and when the time comes. The views expressed in this podcast are our own.
