  • Diversity in perspectives

    Great show that highlights current events through the experiences and lenses of diverse voices. Leans more liberal but presents a fair analysis of the topics it covers. I liken it to a Throughline Lite.

  • Loved episode 1 on misinformation

    What an apt and urgent topic and an incredible guest - Nanjala is an absolute knowledge well on misinformation. The language of “ecosystem of information” really paints a picture and reminds us that we are nothing without context. Really loved the format of the podcast and how it was hosted - Maxine is fantastic! Great questions and organic discussion. Will definitely be following.
