The show has a good mix of current affairs coverage (a more in-depth dive) and some magazine type programming. The host is wonderful. Great listen.
The show is a great weekly in depth review of current happenings. But whomever had the stupid idea of antagonizing subscribers by polluting the pod stream with repeats of the episodes one just listened to is out of touch! Think!
Pia is great interviewer. Many very interesting segments.
I love Piya, she’s intelligent, warm and can be serious, engaging and full of fun all in the same episode!
