Not worth your time.
I’d never heard someone say “that being notwithstanding” before, but now I can’t get enough of this bizarre phrase.
I’ll take a hard pass on this podcast.
Shivam’s warmth and humanity shine throughout, providing a nurturing environment to discuss life through the lens of magic the gathering
Shivam is likeable, but he is a bad interviewer. His questions are often boring and basic, leading to a lot of interviews being “here is my life story before Magic” which just isn’t interesting most of the time.

Often when the guest has finally said something interesting about our game he interrupts for a rant, sometimes even a recycled rant. Mediocre show, but it could be great.
