Testers' Island Discs Ep41 - Angela Riggs

In an episode which was two years in the making, Neil welcomes Angela Riggs to the island, for a discussion about building QA departments within an organisation: how to get buy-in for change, suggestions for "quick wins", what can you do if you're short of budget or people, and how to make quality a part of your company's culture. Recorded on the day that the media finally decided to project the US election result, there's an air of optimism (and a few fireworks in the background) as Angela takes us though her song selections, which include some of her karaoke favourites, some songs with strong personal connections, as well as a song which was composed during lockdown.
