Podchaser54 years agoYoichiI love the idea of a podcast about who people are following. Each episode is like getting a list of recommendations from different professionals each week. This episode had me examine who I look up to in my own work and why. Plus, I got to learn about a new musician to listen to.
I also loved Johana's responses; they were well thought-out and extremely insightful.
This was a great listen!

Put those talents together and you get Follow Friday - a podcast you can trust and enjoy. (Disclosure: Eric and I were colleagues, but he had nothing to do with my own podcast, which was produced by a different department of our employ... more
