The Badlands - A new James Bond / Postman Pat

About this episode

Jarrod Cocksedge discusses his job hunting experience and the future of The Badlands podcast with guest host Damian Mckeown.

So, what do James Bond, Postman Pat, Dr Who all have in common with The Badlands? Fans and keen listeners will have noticed a few weeks since the last episode, more on why in this week's episode. Which is different for a few reasons, mainly because yours truly is being asked questions about my Badlands journey, time job hunting and what the future holds for me along with The Badlands podcast by former guest and my old team mate Damian Mckeown. In this episode I talk about my personal job hunting experience on my return to London in the summer of 2023 after living and working in Asia for 5 years. We talk about why I started the Podcast? What it has taught me, my thoughts on the industry as a whole and what my future holds from a career standpoint. Damian does the hosting, because he is the new James Bond, Dr Who, Postman Pat!, as he is taking over The Badlands podcast hosting duties from now on. I will still be involved, but I’m going to go back to ‘Suiting’ this thing, whilst pursuing my new career. We hope you enjoy, it has been an utter pleasure to create over 40 episodes so far and I have no doubt Damian will bring his own style and ideas as we move The Badlands podcast…
