  • Excellent in-depth coverage

    I have been binge listening to all the episodes. I only recently started listening to the Deep Dive podcast and my only regret is that I did not start sooner. Even episodes that are several years old are still relevant and interesting.

It’s very unpleasant for the target of the moment and painful to watch. Commodification of desire and connection indeed. All the lonely people.

I was prepared in advance that such a possibility might occur, as I arrived on the JET Programme and we held roundtable discussions on... more
