    Another compelling show. The book discussed sounds fascinating, and since I love road trip books I’ll be picking this book up soon.

    I absolutely love the hosts opening chitchat. It makes me chuckle every week.

    (PS – I listen while I’m working outside on a farm in southern Minnesota)

  • Could be better

    The actual interviews with the actual guests are decent. But they are always proceeded by 7 to 10 minutes of boring chitchat between two journalists that add nothing to the show.
