    Andrez is a great interviewer/ he knows when to question and when to step back. These podcasts are a gift- even if I was not interested in mokuhanga I would listen to these interesting people who share their purpose, craft, history and stories. They are my companion on long journeys and listened to more than once. Thank you. J
