    We get lots of questions from our listener on Procurement Says No. Now you can listen to them all again in our series of mini bite-sized podcast chunks. Like dog food.

    In episode 22 we answer your questions how to retain staff; how to attract staff; whether to start a career in procurement; and whether you should ever trust a recruitment agency.

    Rich and Ed are riffing about everything - and have THE ANSWER!

    Most importantly whether an air rifle or cross bow is better at defending procurement teams from chicken attack drones.

    Plus everything you needed to know about procurement; supply chain; risk; AOG; CIPS; buying Chinese chickens; weaponising supply chain; war in the middle east; and AI replacing your procurement role.

    And SIG - Sourcing Industry Group or Spectrum is Green (with thanks to Captain Scarlet), and the latest dead member of Motorhead.

    And why cats protect you on the toilet.

    So get ready to update your supply chain disruption excel spreadsheet.

    The only procurement podcast listened to in space. Possibly.
