  • Logical approach to everyday situations

    Very interesting logic approach to topics. I started listening to the pod last year the only complaint I’ve is the quality of the sound has been off.

  • So excellent!

    Absolutely spot on series. Puts out great questions and allows for balanced interactions to begin answering them. I wish the eps were longer but that’s just because I’m sad when they’re over.
