Thumbs up
amazing really natural conversations amongst people who have never actually met, although you'd never know it. the interviews are very well thought out which adds to the engagement factor. it's scary easy to start an episode and when it finishes, wonder where the time went. Multiple different guests running from musicians, artists, photographers, writers, business owners, etc. Great podcast!
Amazing show
