Awesome podcast

Hi Dr carl, I listen to everything you talk about on all platforms but personally I think Dr lewis is too boring, he’s quite intelligent guy and everything but to me he’s just too into the subject and it often doesn’t translate too well into regular people mind …

Scientific rigour gone

So sad to see him turn his back on logical analysis of contemporary scientific findings.
