Cultural Anthropology&Live Action RolePlaying Games with Rachel Thompson, Brand Strategist - a podcast by Willem van der Horst

Thanks to Heather's introduction following a previous episode of the show, I've had a brilliant conversation with Rachel Thompson. Before falling into advertising and marketing Rachel was studying cultural anthropology and made Live Action RolePlaying games in the UK the main focus of her Masters. We had a great talking about her knitting, interest in science-fiction, comments about the recent trends in virtual reality headsets, loyalty for brand (or lack thereof),  live action roleplaying and much more. I hope you enjoy!
