I listen to this every year now serial owns it and they're gonna lock it down? We literally can't have anything anymore Jon B. Miss you!

I listened to this podcast when it was released. It was a formative podcast for me and set the standard high. I listen through it maybe once yearly - it’s still that good. I only stopped in to write this review because the podcast was presented within a list of recommendations, but I think I might just begin the journey again…
