Hidden gem
Found this podcast by accident recently and have been bingeing since! Definitely a hidden gem. My only criticism is that the research feels suuuper lazy at times. Definitely not as in depth as other podcasts, and Alex will often ask super valid questions that Stephanie has no answers for and just laughs it off. Otherwise this would be my #1 podcast.
Just the facts please
I hate the podcasts where 2 people banter. Interesting subjects but can’t stand the banter, especially when one asks a question and the other says ‘I have no clue.’
Cause ya golfed 😊
Wow!
