About the Podcast

Stray Pointers is a podcast where seemingly ordinary people join us for extraordinary discussions. There are a lot of amazing people out there. I thought that it would be interesting to interview people accomplishing or having accomplished amazing things in a variety of subject areas in technology and the arts.

The introduction to each episode states that show notes for each episode can be found at this site. They used to be housed here, but I removed them since they are available on all of the podcasting platforms along with each episode.
