This podcast challenges one to think big, and to think critically. It is a wonderful gift to listen to. Thank-you
Sasse and Stirewalt cover topics that make you think in ways that make you laugh. Ben Sasse won’t be with us much longer, so hearing his insights, wisdom, and wit is a bittersweet experience that is worth more than listening to just about anything else. You’ll leave bigger and happier than you came.
Ben and Chris your words have impact, and now more than ever. Thank you for what your’e doing and the impact it’s making on me and my family. Also just finished The Vanishing American Adult. Absolutely amazing.
The message you are communicating is the desperate message our culture needs, specifically men. Thank you for the diversity of guest and subjects. Love the Harbaugh show. Of course if I had it to again I too would be a football coach too!! Blessings to you both and praying for you, Ben!
