  • One of the better podcasts

    I’ve tried listening to many podcasts, but it seems that the majority consist of way too much needless banter and too little research and topic exploration.

    Not so with this one. At least with core episodes, the hosts seldom banter and really dive deep into each topic. You can tell the hosts painstakingly research the topics they discuss. They also have clear, soothing voices.
