A very engaging podcast. Hugh, the host, expertly queries each guest. Each guest has a thorough understanding of the subject and eagerly conveys his/her passion and knowledge during the podcast. By the 3rd episode, I was hooked and couldn’t patiently wait for more episodes to listen to. Highly recommend listening to this series. Thank you Arthur Beale for underwriting and sponsoring this series.
So good!
Great podcast top tier, unfortunately rather short episodes
This has joined the ranks of podcasts that I listen to while working, and that I actively look forward to every week.
You should talk to Dan Richard’s about his research and book on outposts a couple of years ago. He’d probably have a story or two to tell.
