  • Worth the investment

    This podcast is powerful because Joshua spends the time to read and research the work of each person he interviews. Most of the guests are surprised to find how much he knows about the intricacies of their work. I’ve listened to other podcasts that many of these guests have appeared on and Shifting Culture has consistently been a more enjoyable listen because of the investment of the one conducting the interview.
