Despre acest podcast
Critical Edge stands for pushing ideas to the limit, and pushing our guests to those limits too. We feel that too many platforms host brilliant individuals, but don’t end up asking the questions that really matter. This is a platform for debate, a disruptive media channel, which discusses perspectives too often unexplored.
Get ready for a new communal project. Ideas are sharper at the edge.
