Join Mark Esper and David Mouriquand on The Invisible Itch, the Interview podcast that scratches beneath the surface of modern life.

After the 30th commemoration of the Berlin Wall coming down, it seemed appropriate to discuss an invisible wall, that of Brexit.

Joining us in the studio is PeaceMyk, a long-time London resident gave his views on the Brexit process. Working in higher education that depends on EU grants, he still voted to leave the EU. Listen to his absorbing reasons why.

It isn't the usual loud rhetoric you've heard before but a fascinating insight into a life-challenging situation. What matters more to you? Your job or the governance of your country?
