The anniversary episode: A conversation with Rommil that's only a bit about Experimentation
It's been one year since Experiment Nation started interviewing Experimenters from around the world, can you believe it? For this special episode, the tables are turned! Experiment Nation's new Canadian co-host, Shannon (aka the "Russian Giant"), interviews Rommil for a change of pace. We talk about escape rooms, raising children, and wearing lab coats. We hope you enjoy it! And yes, we promise to go back to talking more about Experimentation soon - pinky swear.
On that note - we're looking for more Interviewers and podcast co-hosts to join us. Shannon and I cannot cover the world alone. So if you're interested in helping us share the stories of Experimenters wherever they may be, check out our job posting on LinkedIn!
