- Awfully political for a productivity podcast
If you would like to share your political and social views, please do it on a podcast geared towards that audience. I really enjoyed your productivity content, so it’s a shame you ruined it this way.

United States4 months ago - Micro-dosing silliness in a healthy brain smoothie
My wife introduced me to this podcast at the start of the year, and it’s been a terrific listen! Every episode is a fun entree of useful stuff, and the comic asides are a dipping sauce that offers a little more flavor. (Don’t act like you’ve never drizzled a slice of pizza with ranch dressing. I’m not judging you.)
Give Mark a listen - he knows how to have a good time & say a meaningful thing or two, and dammit, isn’t that the job?
