  • Thoughtful and timely

    I appreciate David’s ability to explain topics to his listeners. He does his research and doesn’t just jump at the same topics and conclusion as other popular shows. As the time I spend on podcasts has decreased, David’s is my go-to podcast.

    I also appreciate his multicultural values, with him having been born in Argentina.
