My fave!

Every morning I listen to the previous days hack episode, then my partner and I talk about it over dinner & it’s become our favourite part of the day- a staple in our house and I love it! Love how Dave talks about serious issues that are relevant to all of us, but breaks it down in and easy to understand way and also never fails to put some laughs in when appropriate. Keep up the awesome work, we love you Dave & the whole Hack team, thanks for being awesome and bringing this podcast together
