We've all been there sitting there with our notes, missing half the vital bits of conversation, and that no longer need happen ever again because now you just put Plaud on your collar and bingo it records everything you say and transcribes it into sensible action points that you can refer to afterwards. I only picked up Plaud a few weeks ago and already it's changing the way that I work.

And how did Stalin position himself as Lenin's successor even after Lenin rebuked him and called for his removal? Hello and welcome to Empire with me, Anita Arnund.
