Podcasts became the perfect partner for my walks in April this year during the first lockdown. I was trying to find a new way to consume industry information and to distract myself in the new world that 2020 was becoming.
As a hospitality student, you’ve got to stay informed with what is going on in the industry today. Because it ultimately impacts you, if not today, it will eventually when you enter the working world.
