In the first of a new thread of monthly episodes, we take you behind the scenes at the Library of Mistakes. Join us as we turn the tables on our resident interrogator Professor Russell Napier by putting the questions to him. We also interview David Clarke of Didasko, Helen Bradley of Future Asset and our librarian Helen Williams. And fear not, Russell’s regular interviews with financial historians will also continue here as normal.

Shelf Life is presented by Leila Johnston & Fraser Allen – please do contact us with any feedback, ideas or questions at [email protected] or [email protected]
