A couple of reviews from UK Column's latest interview:

"If you haven't seen the recent Julian Rose interview by Charles you are missing a UK Column classic. High brilliance by all involved." -Dan

"Fantastic interview with Julian Rose, Charles. Covers just about everything with clarity and wisdom. Joining a few more dots by listening to him. Yes, makes sense they’d have a few big organic players to feed the elites while smaller producers put out of business and rural areas cleared. They wouldn’t want thriving local direct-to-consumer sales. Will re listen to it too, as so many gems of ideas in it." - Katherine
