Episode 099.5 - Bonus Chat with Kate Racculia

A podcast about formative media from when we were young. Hosted by Lucas Brown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What I love about The Math of You is the way it keeps suprising me. Suprising me with what I forgot from my childhood that I used to love, suprising me with the broad diversity of guests, suprising me with Lucas&#39;s knack for setting the tone of his guests with his interstitial song choices and well thought out signature cocktails, and suprising me with, no matter what the title of the episode promises, a wonderful glimpse into the humanity of himself and his guests. Also, he does a consistantly great job at professionally editing each episode. Please give this podcast a try, it&#39;s well worth it.

Nostalgia and Humanity

Absolutely charming. Great conversation, beautifully recorded.

Perfect!
