I love this podcast. I love hearing about situations and experiences that I’ve never had and learning of people I’d never heard of and their perspective on the world and their craft. I’ve cried multiple times during multiple episodes and then turned around and laughed during the same episode. Miss Tanya and her guests are so charismatic and intelligent. It’s a great listen.
Apple Podcasts5Brooke25**United States5 years ago - Smart and well worth the listen!
From Professor Peter Schuck to Ann Druyan to Mo’Kelly, a great listen as Tanya conducts conversations with experts in their field about life, politics and current events. Smartly conducted and well thought out with purpose and enthusiasm.

I started the night by intending to listen to the Petri Hawkins-Byrd episode only. Here I am at my sixth episode. Tanya has a way of making topics, that can sometimes be very dry, feel refreshing and interesting. What I love most is her way of looking at the them as an average citizen, but that has an incredibly strong legal mind. I’m definitely going to order her book!
