#100 Planning not panicking: Advance Care Planning with Martin Whiskin

In this very special 100th episode I talk with Martin Whiskin, an award winning voiceover artist and podcast editor. Martin  is very importantly  the technical expertise behind Conversations About Advance Care Planning.

We reflect on episodes 75 to 100 and how they have impacted us both personally and professionally. As ever, I am blown away by Martin’s revelations and how Advance Care Planning has become such a normal and comfortable part of his life planning.
