    Ben does sound like he's the healthier of the hosts but Mike is clearly the handsomer of the two.

  • Still going strong

    Four years in and I’m still avidly consuming all the content these two wonderful chaps produce.

    They keep digging up little nuggets that map out the terrain , and theories around it , in a marvellous and entertaining way.

    Every day is a school day.

    Thanks for all your hard work and I hope this review helps beat the online suppression of this knowledge .

    These two guys are such kind-sounding humans. They ask great questions. I love listening to them crack each other up in the afterparty. I feel like they are likeminded friends I haven’t met yet.

  • Mind opening!

    What’s great about this podcast? Is these to deliver information, from all sides. It’s not just their viewpoint. They have brought me information. I was unaware of at this point. When you think about a fish tank and the fish die because the tank is dirty, that’s terrain. How can we be different from that? And they are curious. And that curiosity, drives them to bring on people that think differently than they do and that’s what broaden all of our thinking. Give them a listen.
