Who am I?
I’m a freelance writer and podcaster. I am passionate about in-depth analysis of the news and in particular arts and culture issues covering literature, music, film, history, and beyond. I am a heavy podcast listener and after years of listening, I think I know few good arts and culture podcasts to recommend.
What is my podcast playlist about?
Mainly arts and culture and being at the forefront of essential conversations about the issues that matter the most today.
