From the publisher
Welcome to the world of Shaun Keaveny’s Daily Grind. It's a show of contradictions, it's about anything and everything but it's definitely also a show about nothing. It's a bit like a daily radio show but it's a podcast. It’s disorientating, but it’s also reassuring! The Daily Grind is a comforting accompaniment to help you through the week, as Shaun Keaveny returns to the studio in this daily podcast. Listen everyday from 5pm. A Global Original and Radio X production in association with APX Content Ventures. For advertising opportunities on this podcast email: [email protected]
