This show is supposed to be a morning show, they can’t figure out how to get it delivered on time, so I usually don’t get it until the afternoon.
The owner of this newspaper owns the number one company in the global cloud infrastructure market, and yet they can’t figure out how to get his podcast delivered on time.
Excellent content.
This podcast is always a highlight of my day. Hannah your voice always makes the information I hear every day just much more interesting and informative. I can tell you that if I didn’t hear your voice (Plus your teams) telling me all the news in the world, I wouldn’t even bother. Thanks for being so informative!
Always a pleasure to hear your voice! I’ve enjoyed your spirit and creativity on This American Life and your other projects. Thanks for energizing my morning news hit. Hannah sets a high bar and you’re a wonderful addition to the team.
What’s with mundane monotone AI slop with all the personality of a lump of coal
