Tales of The Tribunal

ToT TagTime with Mandy & Kabir

Way back in Season 1, one of our most popular episodes was our conversation with Amanda (aka “Mandy”) Lee a lawyer and arbitrator based in London.  In the years since, Mandy has become a familiar face around the digital studio and so we were glad to welcome her back for this week’s tag-teamed episode featuring her Tag Time co-host Kabir Duggal, another friend of the show!  The two talked about their current projects, their show and what comes next.  Enjoy the show!
