Ada Twist, Scientist by Andrea Beaty

My grandma has always said “it’s wonderful that you have so many friends” and I agree with her. During the pandemic, I realized how much I miss seeing the people who make my life so bright and interesting and I wanted to find a way to introduce all of these stars to the world. And so, I have created this podcast. You, dear listener, will get a chance to be introduced to those who make my world hum with possibility. We will talk about serious things, silly things, sad things, glorious things, things that make us alive. So settle in, it’s just you and me.
