The world has never been more connected. Yet never more divided. We yell at each other from inside our echo chambers. But change doesn’t happen inside an echo chamber. It’s time to get out, to stretch our legs, to step on some land mines. It's time to have an uncomfortable conversation with Josh Szeps.

This episode was so interesting. Such an intelligent and articulate explanation of Trump and his recent actions.
Some great conversations but too many I’ve had no interest in.
Hey Josh. Heard your podcast and feel your personal pain. But as an Aussie the attack was on ALL Australians and our free way of life. Just like Christchurch was an attack on our accepted freedoms (by an Australian).
Such a shame I literally couldn’t get through more than one minute of the latest podcast. This woman’s hideous vocal fry was absolutely unusable. Impossible to take anything she says seriously.
I have been a fan of this podcast for a few years and recently became a subscriber. I love Josh’ views on most topics. Now that I subscribe, it’s really fun to go back to the beginning of his library and listen to the stuff that was topical then. Trump 1.0, vaccines, AI before chatgpt - awesome lol. It’s like a Time Capsule where we are living the results in real time. Recommend to everyone!
