Ryan Sink
Hello and welcome to Mansion Interviews, a podcast which gives me an excuse to talk to interesting people while at the same time improving your English.
When I was in Manchester this year for the New Media Europe conference I was lucky enough to meet a great guy called Ryan Sink.
Ryan’s so nice to be around. He’s the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable and relaxed as soon as you meet him. It’s just as shame that we didn’t have the time to talk more at the conference, and also that we happen to live in different countries.
So, I jumped on Skype with Ryan after the conference and that’s what you’re going to hear now. A Mansion interview with Ryan Sink from businessenglishqanda.com

Hi Craig,
It was in June when I listened to your interview with Paul Urwin. Then I found Paul’s podcasts and there was Paul’s interview with Ryan Sink, so I jumped at his site and started to listen to his podcasts… 😉
Ryan’s guests are really interesting people and they are speaking so well and good English that I can only dream!
Ryan’s accent and speaking style is distinctive, nice and clear and I’m sure he is really a friendly and relaxed guy!
It’s my great pleasure to listen to your podcasts!
