Good show I’m in the USA fun and thought provoking
Love the content. Amazing details.
Love the content. Ed’s choice of topics and storytelling are consistently thought-provoking. However, I would appreciate each episode being split into two parts, with a brief recap at the start of the second episode. I can’t always set aside a full hour to dedicate to a podcast.
Superb fascinating insight and so accessible as always with Ed, please make more!
