Always thoughtful, always interesting! I will follow Sam Sanders wherever he goes 🫂
I’ve heard Sam on other pods and it’s great that I stumbled on his own. Love his voice and appreciate his takes.
Sam is a fantastic interviewer and host. He’s light and conversational but also asking compelling questions. Love this podcast.
