Tudor arranges to meet Professor Fernando Gimenez, a former student now a distinguished academic figure who is internationally recognised for his studies of entrepreneurship. The plan is in danger of being disrupted by last-minute travel arrangements. Their meeting eventually takes place after a lengthy delay.
The discussion begins with an exchange of views about cross-cultural experiences. It then takes an unexpected turn with recollections their first meetings in Brazil and Manchester, Professor Gimenez’s doctoral interview, and the tale of a University administrator who collected stray cats.
[Note to poddlers: the 'warts and all' principle is followed to provide this podcast without delay while the poddling team develops skills at dealing with the audio 'warts'. The introductory remarks by Tudor have been cruelly butchered, but the entire unexpurgated version of the interview remains]
