  • Episode 1 - Max Radwin - Organized Crime Reporter
    In this inaugural episode, I interview my friend Max Radwin about his experience living in Mexico City. We chat about social life during the pandemic, personal safety, the dense culture, annoying weather, living here long term, and Mexican gang dynamics. He was so interesting to interview, and such a pro on the mic- which I especially appreciated while I nervously tried to figure out how to talk over my own echo. Thanks for making the first episode awesome, Max!
