One Hour Detours - a One Minute Tours Podcast
An hour is both a lot and not that much time. Each week I invite a notable guest to join me along with a comically large timer to speak about the issues that matter to them.When the clock hits zero, the interview ends. No fluff. No edits. No pre-written talking points.One conversation. One continuous hour. One Hour Detours is the brainchild of John O'Sullivan, best known as the creative voice of One Minute Tours, which took his community by storm when he launched it first in Melbourne, Australia, then in Minneapolis. Publishing weekly.
