August Roundup : Make Use Of Authors

Who can believe it’s the end of August already?   As we head into September, it’s time once again to take a look at what our writers have been up to during the past four weeks.

As well as checking to see if you’ve missed anything, don’t forget to check out August’s Make Use Of podcasts (with the deep seductive voice of Mr Jason “let’s get it on” Mayoff!).

Thanks for reading us and here’s to an enjoyable September!
