Apple Podcasts3DinoF16United Statesa month ago I love the personalities and diverse opinions/viewpoints of Lydia, Carlos, Michelle, and Ross! This is one of my favorite podcasts, and I look forward the latest episode every week. Always fun, interesting, and informative, and a great way to expand the way you see our world, and the topics on people's minds.
