Very easy to understand and great to reinforce/recap on existing learning. It was useful to hear what an employment tribunal would consider when assessing fairness in different SOSR circumstances also. The podcast was detailed enough but also short enough to listen to without getting distracted and having to replay. Great to listen to if you have a spare 10 minutes. http://employmentlawmatters.buzzsprout.com
