Hello and welcome to The Rob
Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess.
On this, our 39th episode, our
guest is Ash Burgess.
Ash Burgess has a dusty degree in Religious Studies, an
obsession with pineapples and an appetite for both high and low culture. She
cuts her own hair, bakes her own sourdough bread and spends most of her time at
home with her young son. Sometimes, she blogs at burgessbaby.blogspot.com.
