  • One of the Best

    What is there to say? Nearly every episode will make you ask thoughtful questions about the world we live in. One of only a handful of podcasts I never miss an episode, one of the two I’ll drop everything for and listen to.

  • You won’t be disappointed

    Genuinely one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to in years. Excellent personalities, stories, and voices. As a heavy podcast listener, this has quickly become my favorite. I will pause anything i’m listening to mid episode if a new one drops. Keep up the good work.
