    Not only is this a great podcast but it’s also super impressive how many episodes there are and the length of the episodes. It’s obvious that there is serious heart behind this podcast. I enjoyed the episode on Mrs. Doubtfire.

  • Less focus on the Product, Too Much Focus on Personal Morality

    I listened to most of the recent episode about Star Wars and enjoyed it, even though I am not a Star Wars watcher. But I saw there was an episode on a book I just finished reading called Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and I was excited to hear the discussion, but the host spent so much time virtue signaling. It distracted me from the conversation and reduced the book to an object by which the host could relate to all listeners the host’s superior morality.
