Apple Podcasts5MD OTUnited States2 months ago - one of my favs
I love podcasts and this is by far one of my most favorites. The conversations challenge my opinions, encourage me to think about what informs my opinions, and keeps me up to date on the latest trends/news in the culture. Thank you for helping me grow in my faith and practice thinking biblically about everything!
Apple Podcasts5mlr35United States3 months ago - More Sean, Less Scott please
I’d give this 4 maybe even 5 stars but Scott incessantly interrupts Sean and takes over the conversation for minutes on end before Sean gets to speak again.
I want to hear Sean’s takes and opinions. I don’t want to hear Scott drone on and on and on.
