We are joined by Jon and Jen, our lovely Canadian friends, in our first international episode. They are perhaps more well known as the Agents of Good who join us to talk about "donor love" - what we think donors want but what, it turns out, they actually need are two very different things!

We did a panel show! We were lucky enough to be joined by Bradley French from Team Kenya UK, Anaily Castellanos from Anthony Nolan and Jodie Marsden from Depaul UK to talk through their experiences on the representation of young fundraisers in the sector
We're joined by fundraising consultant Caroline Danks who wants to challenge the idea short termism is endemic in the sector and how quick-wins put us under great pressure and cause us to under perform
