  • Extremely listenable

    Some times I get in my head about the nature of the systems we live with, the nature of

    the self. This show explores a lot of these innately compelling philosophical topics, with a casual and accessible tone/pace. I appreciate his presentation of information and calming voice! Strong recommend, my friends!
