  • Interesting Topics, Engaging host and Guests. Much needed discussions !

    I really enjoy this podcast and find the topics and guest choices very engaging and thought-provoking. Many guests offer underrepresented perspectives and very intelligently present their ideas. To the producers: please sound engineer Ashfaaq’s vocals to the same volume as guests (it can be hard to hear in the car).
