Toasts and Jams

We welcome DJ and producer Emerald to Toasts & Jams for a conversation exploring fate, physics, and the way our lives unfold.

From the Big Bang to festivals, creativity, and the unknown, this episode moves between the cosmic and the personal, asking whether anything really happens by chance, or if it is all part of something bigger?

Alongside the bigger questions, we get into Emerald’s world, including her drink of choice, tequila, and the track (or tracks) that soundtracked her teenage life.

Expressive language warning!
