    The breadth of topics on this show is unmatched, and always delivered with wit, tact, and thoughtful insight, no matter the subject. I’ve been a listener for over a decade and I’ve never been bored by an episode. ONE STAR.

  • Less

    Need to hear more from the quest and less of the host. It plaques most podcast. With the exception of “ I’ll Drink To That”. The host, Levi Dalton is extremely knowledgable on the main topic but asks a question and gets out the way until the quest is finished replying. He understands it’s not about him, it’s about his quest.

  • Wonderfully Eclectic Show

    I have enjoyed Colin McEnroe since he was an afternoon radio host. He is extremely intelligent and can talk about a large variety of topics. I don’t listen to all of the shows (just the topics that interest me) but the shows I do listen to are excellent.
