Customer Reviews
One of my fave podcasts!
Sana is the most amazing podcast host, and every episode leaves me with something fascinating to mull over, and often an epiphany to change the way I think about things. Highly recommend!
How far you have fallen
This show has gone to absolute BS since Natasha left. Absolute fluff
Journalism well done
I just discovered this gem by luck and couldn't help but listen to more than one episode on the go. The questions are precise, the topics are very diverse and interesting, and the length is perfect—not too short, not too long. Very well done!
