Rome Learns to... Podcast

Started as a side project in the midst of the COVID pandemic, this is now a personal audio journal where I share my thoughts, learnings, and random musings as I experience and learn various things while living my life as a regular human being and while creating content. There might be guests from time to time, but it's mostly going to be just me talking to my past self, my current self, my future self, and to you (my favorite listeners).
