EP 29: Nixie Tubes with Dalibor Farny

For those who don’t know Dalibor is a small manufacturer of the world’s largest nixie tube & Clocks in the Czech Republic. I believe his journey parallels the struggles of those pursuing the seeming untamable nature of plasma or anyone in pursuit of self learning.

Ep 34: Tristan August – Plasma & Konstruktiv

Tristan’s story emphasizes the need to have a growing respect and understanding of components, knowledge, and skills as introduced in chapter 2, and shows another perspective on learning plasma from an engineering and technical background, and collaborating with glass artists and makers

We’re hoping at least 100 listeners will each chip in $7 per episode.
