While there are many positives about this podcast, one area that could be improved upon is balancing historical details with current happenings in the graffiti scene. Some listeners may prefer more information about what artists are currently doing rather than solely focusing on past achievements. Additionally, some may find that Adam interrupts a bit too much during conversations, sometimes taking them off track or dwelling too much on irrelevant details.
In conclusion, The My Life In Letters podcast is an absolute must-listen for anyone interested in graffiti culture. It offers a unique perspective into the lives of legendary artists while also shedding light on lesser-known pioneers in the movement.
