Thank you to all who supported "Unpacked" - the first rendition of this project. On to the next one, "Vices & Vultures."

Our "Unpacked" segment of V&V featured solo interviews by our co-hosts. The segment is a refresh of this podcast that once went by the same name, and focused exclusively on our guests whose stories we unpack. Our featured guests represented their passions and cultures so well; they deserved their distinction.⁣
