GBA 309 Sam
from Getting Better Acquainted · host Dave Pickering
In GBA 309, we get better acquainted with Sam. He talks about making an award winning "terrible idea" podcast, his early career as a boy soprano, being an actor/musician, occasionally discarding the idea of weighing up the pros and cons of things (via a thought experiment about icecream), the history and future of comics, the influence of his grandfather on his life and so much more. Sam does lots of things including making the Song By Song podcast which discusses the songs of Tom Waits in chronological order.
