Glyn and Konrad have had the pleasure of working and collaborating with, being taught by and having access to the academic output of many talented and interesting individuals working within, and outside, the speciality. In the podcasts we want to have informal conversations with many varied and diverse individuals who have, and continue to, shape, develop and lead the field. We also hope to discuss chronic pain with patients and their parents, as well as clinicians working with them. We want them to help us explain the many different aspects that contribute to this complex presentation of pain that we all see. In addition we will see if we can get to know them a bit, what makes them tick and how their experiences have shaped them.
