A place for cobbling together some stray thoughts into unrefined audio essays, all written and read by me, Damian Robb. I expect they’ll be messy but meaningful, and ultimately just a way for me to talk to you and myself and share some thoughts, updates, and occasionally a story or two. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
