  • Excellent podcast

    I have been listening to this podcast for a year and a half, and it is my favorite. The conversations are deep, thoughtful, and humorous, and I have shared many episodes with friends and family. However, I am always sad when Todd says, “I have so many more questions, but that’s all we have time for.” The episodes can’t be a little longer? ;)
