  • Game changer

    The host is intelligent, generous, refreshingly honest and not patronising. Every episode is unique, lacking the usual repetitive, redundant conversation but rather incisive and witty, profound but never taking itself too seriously. The guests are very compelling and cover a wide variety of inspiring topics.
