- Interesting and fun
So far (three episodes in) it’s a top podcast. Interesting, revealing and though way out of my knowledge zone it is very understandable. The personal chemistry between the two presenters makes it gallop along in an enjoyable and fun way even though it’s a serious and well informed discussion. Looking forward to the future episodes…..
