United Statesa month ago - What a gem (the show and also Blair)
Every single episode of Relationscapes punches way above its weight. Every single episode is more powerful than I could ever imagine. Even the ones that I don’t think will interest me! It is because Blair is one of the greatest interviews on the mic, and I am not just saying that. His engagement with his guests is next level. Tell your friends about this show. And don’t just listen to an episode you think applies to you. Listen to them all.
