Julia, the managing director.
Stevenson’s is quite an old company. It was set up in 1923 by Ronald Stevenson

Stevenson’s original plan was to produce spare parts for the machine tools
industry— although in fact that never happened. Shortly before the company went
into production, Stevenson was given the opportunity to make goods for hospitals,
so that’s what we did for the first five years.
Now some idea of what you’ll be doing during your two weeks with us. Most mornings
you’ll have a presentation from one of the managers, to learn about their department.
And you’ll spend some time in each department, observing and talking to people.

were getting on, but your school isn’t able to arrange that this year.
OK, are there any questions before we move on? …

In this mix of strange stories, Malcolm Gladwell, a famous writer, handles
misunderstood events and rarely discussed ideas, covering subjects like Toyota’
s car recall and even the firebombing of Tokyo at the end of World War II. Gladwell
freely mixes research and opinion and enjoys challenging conventional views, but
every episode serves up facts and stories you have likely never heard before.
2. The Read
Kid Fury and Crissle West, famous comedians, review the latest pop culture news
and offer their opinions on everything. Funny and challenging, these conversations
run for a couple of hours, covering recent events and frequently touching on social
justice, mental health and race.
3. Forever35
Forever35 started as a physical self-care podcast but expanded to discuss mental
health, relationships, and any other topic that appeals to writers Doree Shafrir
and Kate Spencer. They go from chatting about skin creams to seasonal emotional
