This feels right. Thoughtful without being pedantic. I found myself stopping the show to digest what I was hearing and figure out how the ideas fit into my life. Looking forward to more.

Shay Leonia may be the perfect person to host this intro to Humanism podcast. She has talent and enthusiasm for communication, and simultaneously she is learning about Humanism along with the listener.

So informative and fun! Shay is a wonderful host
