Podcast
Welcome to the archive! I'm Joe Walker. The JSP is guided entirely by my curiosity. Before every episode, I research as much as possible. Then, I ask the burning questions that excite me most. The result is less a performance and more a conversation between two friends, which you get to eavesdrop on. For each episode, you’ll find audio and a transcript below.
Not sure where to start?
