    Enjoying the podcast but bro, you might want to swap out your main graphic for art that is not AI-generated. Artists don’t like that.

  • I Am Not A Podcast Guy, But….

    The diversity of creative genres and guests Daniel brings is quite refreshing. This podcast keeps me engaged where others lose me. Daniel’s seamless approach to interviewing is perfect. No scripts, no dead air questions, just a flowing conversation and information gathering experience. It is a testament to Daniel’s own diversity in the arts. Great work Daniel. I look forward to next season.
