- All the feels I don’t realize I needed
Just when I told myself I was following enough chess podcasts. This hit at just the right time in my life. Over the past year two things have happened in my life.

I tried a couple of these pocasts. A little too much millenial-speak. To use the vernacular, "Like, y'know, literally" not much about chess. Everything is "amazing." Skip this one

Co-hosts with great chemistry tackling interesting topics.

I don't like to clutter my podcast list, so it's difficult to give this podcast 5 stars., Julia, are you going to podcast regularly (i.e., 1x or more per week)? Better yet, why aren't you a Twitch superstar?
