  • Absolutely top notch

    Maybe it’s just me but I’ve replaced Netflix with this podcast alone. Love the breadth and depth that topics are discussed, and the hosts always ask questions that invoke my own thinking. Not sure how they do it but after an episode, I feel like I myself was having a conversation with the guests!
