4.4 out of 5 stars from 51 ratings
  • Content: 5/5. Sound quality: 0/1.

    Buy a professional microphone and some noise deadening stuff for your echoey room, please! Often the guest’s audio is far superior to the interviewer. Otherwise — fantastic podcast. Just hard to listen to. Often will begin episodes then end them after a moment because the are so hard to listen to.

Q: What's a day in the life like in your current role leading the global fine art division?

Drinks With The Deal: Sotheby's Lissner on Combining Art, Finance
Q: How did you end up combining art and finance in your career?

Q: So talk about your background and how that shaped your approach to the book.
