  • Amazing

    Wade Oliver Wilson does a great job interviewing people in the world of engraving. In a way he’s documenting people in a subject that can feel somewhat closed off to the world. Wade has opened a door. Whether you’re an aspiring artist, engraver, or just someone interested in conversations around the subjects, I would expect you to enjoy this podcast.
