  • Can't go wrong

    This podcast appears to have lasted for just a couple of years.

    Excellent storytelling about moral quandaries.

  • Great topics and interviews but…

    Brian was highly recommended to me by my daughter who heard him speak at her university. I agree Brian is extremely informative and knows how to interview people in order to tell a great story. However his biases are so evident that he ruined it for me. Brian loves to bash Trump at any opportunity. I am NOT a huge fan of Trump either, but Klaas needs to show that the Left doesn’t always make impressive choices either. So disappointed. Not sure if I want to keep listening.
