  • Brilliant reflections, important topics

    Excellent!

    This podcast caught my attention because it featured an detailed interview with Elena Horn about the documentary "The Lesson". I was extremely moved by the reflections and toughts in the dialogue between Horn and Dr Michelle Fava.

    After listening to the two episodes about "The Lesson", I also listen to many of the other episodes which continued to be truly eye-opening.

    5 stars for this podcast!
