Coffee & Geography
Coffee & Geography S03E15 Bob Digby (UK)
Kit Marie and Bob Digby sip on some and chat about social media, community through Geography, Cornwall, being a bus conductor, amongst other things.
Bob Digby is a former teacher and teacher educator who still believes that no job in the world beats teaching and working with enthused colleagues and students. He now writes geographical resources and textbooks, leads CPD and examines at A level and GCSE. Bob lives with his husband and two spaniels at the end of a farm track in south Cornwall which is wonderful but has a real need to socialise every so often. He loves music (catholic tastes), reading (crime fiction), films (love a good romcom) and musical theatre ('West Side Story' anyone?).
