Excellent podcast, one of my favourites

Michael Phillip is an excellent host and interviewer, the topics and guests are fascinating. It's probably the most consistently interesting podcast I have heard.

Funny, Heartfelt, Real.

Oh, hello. This was the first and so far only podcast which I have gotten heavily into and it never fails to excite me when a new episode arrives, even if it's with someone I have never heard of or about topics which I previously had no idea where even possible subjects of conversation. Always brightens my day and opens my mind. Mr Michael Phillip himself is very relatable, at least for myself, and not only am I eagerly listening to see what he has to say (Michael is a casual offender for insight on the stilts of skepticism and the honesty of an old friend), but I feel just by listening I am now a companion on his journey and paying witness to the growth he experiences throughout the course of these many brain boggling conversations. And the guests! Goddam! The guests are indeed captivating in their own right, with nearly every episode I have listened to sending me down fantastic rabbit holes courtesy of the light shined down them by whomever he has on the show. I recommend you all listen immediately! I love this show and the connection it provides for me, I hope you will too. Keep cool but care, my friends.
