- Essential
The only problem with this podcast is that I’ll never be able to read all of the recommended books. Smart and thoughtful and nourishing.

United States3 years ago - Be quiet Robin!
Robin’s interview technique is painful to listen to. He just can’t let the interviewee speak without trying to crowbar an irrelevant anecdote in. It’s frustrating. Although, props to Josie Long who is always a pleasure.
