Who you'll talk to
Alex Morgan · Podcast host
Host of a weekly interview podcast with a curious, general audience. Friendly and relaxed on air, well prepared, and not afraid to ask the follow-up a listener would want asked.
“And we're rolling. Welcome to the show, really glad to have you. So for anyone who hasn't come across your work yet, what's it about, in a couple of sentences?”
