Join host Alex Hall for an end of year celebration of curiosity! Every interview that Alex does, she asks 'what are you curious about?' and many times that has led to interesting discussions that were not about the topic of the interview. This show airs some of those wonderful exchanges - from fish food to punk rock - along with the current curiosities of some of the WLRH team.
