Big fan of this podcast. Hannah and Patia interview interesting people, are super thoughtful and professional, but also fun. Also, keep up the recommendations on off-record, they’re always good!
One of the most fascinating and interesting podcasts around! These two women are just “pitch perfect” episode after episode…
