Tamara Marcus
This is the first episode of Renewable and Sustainable. We are so glad you’re here. Being our very first episode, podcast, live streamed forum, there were some hiccups. But, after our conversation got going, Tamara Marcus and her wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and compassion shined through. If you make it through the first 5 minutes of the host awkwardly introducing the episode, it gets pretty good. Thanks for listening.
