Amazing podcast

This is an amazing podcast I randomly discovered this podcast, because I was looking for podcasts on Stuart Hall and this came up. I study Culture and Literary Analysis and Stuart Hall's work is a big part of my of what I study. This podcast is so beautifully done, it seems it could go on and that the last podcast is missing. I do hope it will be added though I do like the podcast with the panel. And I also hope there will be a 2nd edition with more interviews :) It's such a joy to listen to people who actually knew Stuart Hall and discover so much of his work I hadn't learned about yet at school and also other of his works to read. The voices of the radio host and guests are a joy to listen to. I do hope they continue making more wonderful podcasts. I love this. Thank you so much 🙏🏿
