  • The podcast has interesting and varried topics. I'm always learning something new. Except when they do a rerun. Not quite sure who curates, but lifting an entire episode from the past, changing the title (and sometimes not) and calling it a new episode is a let down. Thankfully it has not happened frequently. Looking forward to NEW content each season.....
