Podcasts
I created and hosted a podcast, Unwasted, during my time at Imperfect. Below aere are 3 of the most downloaded episodes of all time (upwards of 4,000 downloads each) as well as 3 more of my personal favorites. Collectively, they embody my approach to the fun possibilities of this delightful longform medium.
