Today's guest is Ken Walsh, a former Berlin guide who gave it all up to make radio in Dublin. For him, the "neoliberal freelance nightmare" of guiding in the German capital was a big factor in the move. So we talk about that and we discuss why he'd take healthcare, holidays and a busload of hungover Australians any day.
Conversation from June 26th 2020.

Awesome chat! I felt very similar being a “freelance” guide..... but Ken & Wouter you are both much better at articulating the point!
