Please Blow My Mind Podcast

I'm not sure how to write an intro in words that will do this podcast with Slavko Martinov justice. The best I can do is WOW! My mind in blown by so many things in this conversation that it's probably best just to hit play and enjoy the merging of ideas and the energy of hope that this created. This podcast hints at my previous conversation with Slavko about the amazing film he made called Propaganda which is an anti-western film, as told from a North Korean perspective. Enjoy the podcast and as an added feature to help bring you back from the voyage that Slavko and I take you on - I've added in the full theme song to my podcast at the end, enjoy. Here is a link to our previous conversation on my old podcast, My Kiwi Life:
