Awesome Asclepius ,

Great Collab

I wrote about the Silmarillion and my admiration for the Noldor in my successful UChicago application essay 7 long years ago so the episode about that was a real joy. Love agora as a network and the collabs really speak to its spirit.

Great conversations

A great and informative podcast. The episode on philosophy was truly inspiring and, dare I say, nearly brought a tear to my eye.

Anopheles gambiae ,

Good stuff

This podcast at first appears to be a random hodgepodge of things until you realize it is a real behind the scenes look at the Agora Network. What these interesting and educated podcasters talk about in their spare time, the gabs they would like to fill in on their own shows, and their motivations in podcasting. If you are the type to listen to How Sound you will definantly enjoy this.
