Accidental Careers
Hosted by Fourth Estate Creative · EN
Lindsey Stephens has spent her working life across the media, so she knows a good story. And that’s what sparked her idea for the Accidental Careers podcast, where she talks frankly and with great humour with fascinating people who are in jobs they never imagined would be their 9 to 5 (and then some) when they were sitting in front of the careers officer at school.
