  • Jedi master

    When she interviewed me, I discovered that Tosca is that rare thing, a genuine expert, by which I mean someone who through long years has mastered her craft, who uses her knowledge surgically to showcase the work of others. That, combined with her choice of issues to highlight, make this podcast stand out.
