  • Great Interviewer and production value

    Great conversations with guests and amazing production value. Alot of podcasts in this space are wandering and production value not so great. John's interviews are personable and tell a story. Plus is this guy a sound engineer on the side? Amazing sound quality. Totally recommend for anyone interested in L&D and the future of learning.
