Coffee & Geography 2x04 Phil Humphreys (UK)

Kit chats to Phil Humphreys over a cup of Oxfordshire Co-Op ground coffee, chatting about the Oxfordshire landscape, old maps, rubbing shoulders with the legends at Lords (Cricket Ground), amongst other things! Geography teacher Phil is passionate, caring, happy (most of the time), tired (all of the time), lover of coffee, good times and running. He is particularly passionate about creating the next generation of ‘geographers’ (with emphasis!), not lawyers or estate agents who used to study Geography!
