3 is the Magic Number Podcast artwork

Each week, we bring on a guest and ask them to pick their three favourite things. This can be anything; musician, album, film, director, graphic novel, Simpsons episodes, Star Wars characters, Theme Park thrill rides, beverages, ballerina, 70’s political figures, cities to live in ... anything! The sky is the limit on choices, but the choices are limited to just 3. At the end of the show, we’ll also be asking our guest for a recommendation for our Recommendations Corner.
