I’m a huge Mike Pesca fan, and How To! has been a great addition to his work. I’ve enjoyed every episode so far. Pesca brings the same sharp interviewing skills, curiosity, and humor that make his other projects so good, and he manages to turn practical questions into insightful conversations. It’s informative, entertaining, and consistently well done. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys smart, thoughtful interviews.

Longtime listener won’t be continuing to listen with Pesca at the helm. Appreciated the thoughtful and measured past hosts very much but this new style isn’t for me.

Canada4 months ago - Great info
This show has great information. The hosts were especially informative and open to new ideas. It was really great to listen to.
Apple Podcasts5ValourisUnited States8 months ago - Biased show
The Living at Odds episodes I found very disappointing. They say it’s about seeing both sides, but really felt a lot like one side accepting the other for what they believe and the other thinking what they believe is totally wrong and are tolerant of their lack of education. That if they were totally educated they’d think just like me. Just felt more dividing than helpful series.
