  • This pod is fun and informative

    I can’t remember the last time I kept following a podcast this closely. They truly have figured out a good mix of trendy and informative. I’ve learned so many things I wouldn’t have cared to Google but they are definitely relevant in my career or personal life. The only downside is that they don’t release more frequently, I could listen to this pod a few times a week.

    Bonus points is also neutral, not woke, not political, not extreme right. Just informative and cool.
