His narratives explore history, science and sustainability, and he writes the piano music that underscore the stories.His podcasts have been heard hundreds of thousands of times, and he has produced narrative podcasts for a wide array of clients, including Porsche (Driven Minds), Duolingo (Spanish Podcast), World Coffee Portal (5THWAVE), Specialty Coffee Association (World Coffee Championships), and others.Growing up half Italian in Sydney, he’s lived in Hong Kong and Rome and began his career working for the Bank of England in 2009. However, his passion for coffee was simply too strong to resist, and in 2016 moved to Berlin to become The Barn Coffee Roaster’s Wholesale Manager, and then in early 2018 hopped on a flight to Guatemala to dive deeper into the world of specialty coffee as a documentary podcast producer.When he is not traveling around the world, James generously accompanies storytellers at THE BEAR adding another delicious layer to our evening.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/43cad380-f4b1-11f0-b1e4-475f0e34b788-rimg-w1109-h740-dc322a2a-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/43ecda70-f4b1-11f0-b1e4-475f0e34b788-rimg-w1109-h740-dc060402-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/440a4d80-f4b1-11f0-b1e4-475f0e34b788-rimg-w1200-h708-dc030205-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/442639f0-f4b1-11f0-939d-8d7f4fe5e3ad-rimg-w1110-h740-dc01012f-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/444c3880-f4b1-11f0-939d-8d7f4fe5e3ad-rimg-w1109-h740-dc191413-gmir.jpg
