  • An intelligent offering that lands with authenticity

    I have profound respect for the effort Ben puts into accessing varied voices and providing space for their offerings. He shows such interest and genuine humility as he interviews guests. I have learned more than I can state, but have also felt oddly “seen” through his selection of guests and thoughtful questions. It’s like the professional version of “Hot Ones”, and I love it!

  • Worst podcast ever

    I’m a fan of behavior psychology and I think this is the worst experience ever. The acoustics are horrendous. You have trouble getting the talk. It’s such a torture.
