Jem Challender's Tamper Tantrum podcast

Such an incredible experience hanging out with Has Bean's founder Steve Leighton. We talk lots about Prufrock's history, the role of the nano roaster and then move into the anathema that is solubility testing.  If you can't handle the full 80 minutes, I've divided it up into chapters so you can scroll through. The Solubility Elephant in the room sparks up a great debate from minute 43.
