If you hunger for intellectual conversation and enjoy learning for the sake of learning you will find yourself so refreshed by Nathan and Joseph’s podcast. I have been flying through the episodes and my TBR list is growing as new to me books are mentioned. The guests are great and the conversation is wonderful! Keep it going, guys! 👏
This has quickly become my favorite podcast. Not only do I love the blend of conversational and interview structure, but I really appreciate the willingness to leave some questions as open ended, allowing space for us as the listeners to think on them ourselves. Joseph and Nathan each bring a unique perspective to topics they discuss, posing interesting questions and digging beyond the surface and into the heart in each episode. I feel like I’ve found my people, and I would recommend this podcas... more
I love listening to/participating in these kinds of discussions so I was excited to find another one to follow. Sometimes podcasts like these go way over my head and get way too intellectual, but this one is fun and I can keep up, so it’s great. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve heard.

I literally laugh at every episode. Two intelligent men having respectful dialogue on important subjects. Joseph’s writing is also 🤌🏼 Love his alliteration as he introduces each guest! It’s all so nerdy and great. Thanks for all the work yo... more
