Spotlight On Us — the podcast talks to itself

LP and Michael the show producer have a freewheeling chat about all sorts of stuff.

Spotlight On producer and editor Michael Donaldson and host Lawrence Peryer communicate constantly throughout the research and production of each episode, but they rarely actually speak in person. So when Michael suggested they spend time catching up to discuss some topics of shared interest, the pair decided to press ‘record’ and share their discussion with listeners. 

The two had a freewheeling and sprawling talk which Michael worked his editing magic on in order to bring to you. Enjoy.
