In this second episode of The Provocateur, I talk to Robbie Smith, CEO and founder of NGOs United, about the political situation in Haiti and how his initiative can improve the efficacy of development aid in the country. Join us for a fascinating discussion that takes in the history of this oft-forgotten Caribbean state; the impact of recent natural disasters such as the 2010 earthquake and Hurricane Matthew; and the ongoing challenges to effective aid delivery.

Hey Really minor thing but when I use DoggCatcher (A podcast app) to download these episodes the icon for it is the WordPress Icon rather than anything to do with this podcast.
Thought you might like to know as it might be easy to fix.

Hi Gah-Kai
That’s okay. It works well on my podcast app. You’re clearly publishing these in the right way. It’s just the logo. It’s a fairly minor thing and it’s great it worked so easily with my podcast app without really doing anything special just using the RSS feed.
Best regards Leo
