Wise Talkers
Launched February 2024, the Wise Talkers Podcast is the home of six interviews from decades past when I was conducting live radio broadcasts. In these Legacy Editions I re-purpose each original conversation with a new introduction and epilogue to provide context to the previously recorded live interview. I give some background on the guest and the interview, and discuss its relevance today. More information at wisetalkers.com
