Mind candy
A bit of everything in this podcast! The rock/paper/scissors of Sotheby’s & Christie’s was such a delight. A must must listen!!
Lockdown brainfood
Such an amazing show to reflect a little bit more on design and other objects of the world that we truly miss in the midst of lockdowns and restrictions. If anything, it’s a collection of great stories by some cool people.
The best!
One of my all time favourite podcasts. Roman Mars is exceptional and the stories told on the episodes are always interesting, informative, and entertaining. Thank you to Roman and the 99pi team for making this.
