In seinem bahnbrechenden und preisgekrönten Werk erzählt der renommierte Onkologe Siddhartha Mukherjee die faszinierende Geschichte der Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Krebs.

Poetry is a medium least explored. Partly because it demands your full attention and partly because it acts as a mirror and people are terrified to face their true self. This podcast is personal.

You may accompany me in this road, I am the explorer here and anyone curious enough can walk with me.
