    A very cool topic and very interesting guest, thank you for inviting Christophe!
    I like how Q made sure he spoke very clearly when addressing non-native speaker Christophe.
    I’m looking around now in 2020 and I’m not sure MJ Backstage still exists, the most recent entry I find is from December of the same year, 2015:
