  • Jesus Christ on the Andy Weir episode I've never heard two people speak so confidently and be so very very wrong at the same time. This podcast should just be called hubris.

  • Hank’s journey of meaning goes mainstream

    I love the Green brothers and I have since I was 14. I’m clergy and I admit I’ve loved John and Hank’s back and forth about Hank’s “journey of meaning” for a few years. I absolutely love that he’s opening up the conversation to cool people in this new podcast. It’s interesting, deep without trying too hard, and accessible because everyone, well, is a human.

    Some might be confused by its broad theme but that’s also one of its gifts. I’m so here for it!

    Thank you Hank, for taking us with you on... more
