  • Exceptional interviews

    Jasmine is an excellent interviewer, always prepared with history and current context. Crucially, she features a very diverse set of speakers which enable me to gain perspectives I do not normally receive via other media sources. Her human-centric focus is very needed in this current world. Looking forward to season 2 soon.
