101. Turning the Tables on Russel Wasserfall
With 100 episodes of A Table in the Corner in the bag, I felt it might be time to do a biographical insert for episode 101. Some of my guests have asked when the spotlight would fall on me. A few of our regular listeners have also asked via Instagram DMs when I'm going to be interviewed. Jonathan Warncke recently invited me onto his industry-focused podcast 'How to Start a Podcast in South Africa', and I cajoled him into being the guest host on my show - to turn the tables on A Table in the Corner. Turns out there was a lot to cram in, but I kept the edit under 40 minutes. So here's some background on how I came to host a podcast on the local food scene.
Yours truly on 'How to make a Podcast in South Africa'
