Roman Leal of Evocation Coffee | Part 2 by Cat & Cloud
This was our first podcast attempt many months ago before we started working with Patrick and Pullstring. A glimpse into how Chris and Jared met, their first barista competition experiences, and the general state of barista competitions circa 2006-2010. This was recorded in a random Volvo with an iPhone. Horrible audio quality but fun times.
