Unusually joyful and serious.
I’ve listened to every episode this week to catch up. Every one is rich and full of laughter and tears. Thank you for this wonderful listen in a world too full of noise.
Love the podcast! Such a variety of guests and great questions. I think you are really funny Ben, maybe it’s a Nebraska thing. Praying for you!
Ben and Chris have been among my favorite podcast guests and hosts for many years. They elevate each other in this show. Their shared senses of humor and profound intelligence and knowledge combined with their inherent decency makes this a can’t miss show.
Chris and Ben are funny, self deprecating and I’m positive if they were in-person sitting in a pub with me they would be exactly the same. Also, Conan was a great guest.
PS: I’m praying for you Ben
