  • Specialist but well told

    A seemingly specialised and specific podcast that is told in a very accessible way. Interesting and entertaining episodes by interviewers who let the subjects speak within a structure, rather than dominating the interview.

Ep53-Frankenstein - Nelson Ferreira, Nathan Robitaille and Brad Zoern
