Co-presenter Ian Kerr said:
‘The global postal network has helped us stay connected during the pandemic. And now the delivery sector is at the forefront of distributing vaccines. ‘There are so many stories that show how important the postal sector is to communities. Posties and post offices are everywhere, and are part of society’s fabric. I’m looking forward to sharing more postal stories in future episodes of Voice Mail.’
Voice Mail is now on Spotify, Podbean and other podcast hosting services.
