  • Exceptional

    Amazed that it took me so long to find this exceptional pod. Consistently interesting content and engaging storytelling where the narrator lets the subjects tell their own stories with great questions and editing. Most importantly this isn’t at all dumbed down and often allows the listener to draw their own conclusions.
