  • Memories of Love Returned

    I’m a huge fan of this podcast and rave about it to my colleagues all the time. This week’s episode particularly sounded fascinating. I’ve added Memories of Love Returned to my Letterboxd watchlist, hoping to see it soon here in Vancouver, BC. And I, too, have been trying to pitch this show for an interview. That would be my dream, too. 😉

    Have a great time off. Katja DB
