Today, as well as celebrating the written word, Sandi shows some appreciation for the ability to record and listen to the human voice - after all, without those pioneering first records, she wouldn't be in a position to speak to you now.

But, when something is put-out into the world for public consumption, it's often the case that people feel the need to judge it; take YouTube for example, there's not a video on there where people haven't taken the time to give it a thumbs-up, or thumbs down.

Being judgemental is obviously a part of human nature, but surely not everything needs our stamp of approval? Unless of course you're about to say something nice about this show in the comments below... you're actively encouraged to do that and whilst you do, remember ... We Will Get Past This.
