  • Fabulous

    I get to listen these to these smart fun leaders a little more in depth now. Love the Habits episode - uplifting at this stupid time, feeling a little bit of control. Not a bad thing.

  • Why start a new podcast with a duplicative interview?

    Andrew Ross Sorkin has been interviewed by everyone and their mother since his poorly-reviewed (by his own employer) book came out. Why would you do the same thing that everyone else is doing to launch a new podcast with the limited resources PBS has? Press release promotional journalism is so boring. This could have been an opportunity to start something different.
