GBA 286 - Nick Harris

Summary: In GBA 286 we get better acquainted with Nick Harris. He talks about how he accidentally got the job he'd always wanted (although he didn't know he'd always wanted it at the time), making podcasts and youtube videos for The British Museum, travelling around the world a lot during his childhood, ancient board-games, building sound studios, super cats, living in an uncertain world, getting sent to the head teacher for suggesting America isn't the best country in the world, playing the bass guitar and so much more.
