I tried listening to this podcast hoping that the material covered would be more stimulating than what else is offered on the podcast app, but was disappointed to find a pair of what I would describe as sailor-mouthed pothead teenagers stumbling upon old tomes, offering little insight and much ignorant commentary. A vacuum of one’s time and attention; not recommended.

I’m a latecomer to this party and still have about 80 episodes to listen to but this podcast has held my interest in a metaphysical vice from day 1. Thoughtfully put together with interesting guests and show notes that keep you busy as you rush off down your latest rabbit hole. Book recommendations come thick and fast to the point where I now need a new bookshelf and my postman has a bad back! All good stuff!
