    20 Sided is my favourite podcast, for many reasons!

    Jared keeps it simple, real, but is also not afraid to dive deep when the rabbit hole presents itself!

    His topics are varied and interesting and I like that he reaches back to previous interviewees.

    I would call his interview style “free range” which for me is very effective for exploring the hobby with the people he hosts!

    Great fellow, great topics, great podcast!

    Cheers!
