We kick-off a bumper month of episodes with a visit to the island by Elizabeth Zagroba, to talk about the ideas behind her upcoming presentation at TestBash Germany, entitled "Doubt Builds Trust".

Among the discussions, there are debates about the challenges of saying "I don't know", stories about exploring doubt within interview situations, and thoughts about the relationship between doubt and curiosity. Plus, Neil finally finds a way for his frequent screw-ups to reinforce a salient point!

Elizabeth shares stories of how music and technology have been interwoven throughout her life, and her song choices are spread across classical, musicals and jazz, with a small helping of funk thrown in for good measure.

You can catch up with Elizabeth on Twitter @ezagroba.
