Makes learning fun

Fantastic podcast that never fails to engage me. I often sit with pen and paper to note concepts or ideas for later follow up. But that’s not to say the talks are dense or require a philosophy degree. Nothing of the sort. It’s just a very engaging, stimulating and thought provoking hour of entertainment. Keep it up!
