  • Truly an awesome podcast

    As a young person struggling with depression and the uncertainty that comes with being a person in the cosmos, this has really brought me a lot of peace and comfort. It’s been a chance to reflect and deepen my perspective on life, not to mention the humor and silliness you guys bring alongside the more serious questions and topics are always something to look forward to :)
