  • Such a Treasure!

    I just stumbled across this podcast a few days ago and been absolutely hooked since. The chemistry between the married hosts is so sincere and refreshing in a flood of corporate content creation. I’m learning new things and it feels cozy, not condescending. Sad to discover the show has already wrapped, but life is about discovering new things!
