  • Absolutely excellent

    I find this show quite delightful. Andrew manages to humorously weave narratives while also seriously interviewing heads of state and other important people. I think he brings out a lot of the details and nuances that bring important contemporary world events to life. Was turned on to it by Decoding the Gurus pod and has become a favorite of mine
