Recounting Encounters is a podcast where we talk about things that worked, didn't work and things that we could change at our table to make public play just that much more interesting. We occasionally have guest speakers (usually an author of the season) to talk about their feeling and thought process behind the creation of such a season.
Thanks to all who listen in.
