In Depth: Alex on the Da Miri Podcast

Kerning Cultures Network
About this episode
While we're working on our summer season, we're going to be dropping some bonus episodes into your feed over the next few months. Starting with this one: a special conversation featuring producer Alex Atack, who you've heard telling you all these stories, but you probably don't know much about him. So this his backstory, and a sneak peek into what's coming up in Kerning Cultures' summer season. It comes to us from our friends at the Da Miri Podcast, which is a show hosted by Tariq Elmeri where he has these deep, honest conversations with what he calls “unique individuals."

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
