31: San Diego Sherrif’s Department Special

Starting the new year nice and easy with a few good books and perhaps some Tacos and a good Mexican beer. This episode was recorded in San Diego California and is a rundown of my favourite books of 2018. If you love reading about design, and topics related to becoming more aware then this would be for you. It’s also a handy primer, just in case you get locked up, and you’re not sure which book to choose from the prison library. Happy 2019!
