David Schlapobersky & Felicity Potter | Episode 1272
David Schlapobersky & Felicity Potter were on The Potters Cast way back in episode 82 in the very early, early days of the podcast. This is one of my favorite conversations I have ever had. I have thought of these two many times over the years. I recently discovered that Felicity had passed away in March of this year. I though it would be good to revisit this conversation in memory of Felicity.
