Quadbunk Podcast

by John Brzozowski

The Quadbunk podcast is a vehicle to have a wide range of conversations with people I admire and/or have great rapport with. The Quadbunk podcast covers many topics that are influenced by my education and experiences. I try to keep it light, sometimes informational, and always try to break it up with some humor.
