S3E14:
Risk-taking and being prepared to fail (but fail fast) are some of the key learnings

about the work of NBC LX almost three years on since it went on air. We featured the
work of NBC LX in season one of the podcast, so this is the chance to discover
what worked, what did not, and what the future holds for the US-based station.
