Welcome to Ross Recommends. The simple aim: To help you get more out of your spare time!
We've never had more options on what we can watch, read, visit, eat, drink and generally do -- but the paradox of choice is that it can be paralyzing: Sometimes it feels like we spend longer scrolling through streaming channels than actually watching them!
That's where Ross Recommends comes in. Every week, radio legend and former lawyer Ross Stevenson will be joined by experts and friends to talk about what they've been loving, and why it's worth your while.
Movies, music, articles, day trips, hobbies... anything goes. Think of it as part-review show, part-book club and part-life advice, with plenty of learning and laughs along the way!
