Customer Reviews
Cool topics many angles
I heard about this podcast on 99%invisible. Both are awesome
Great show
This is a great show. The simplicity and depth Benjamin achieves is more interesting and insightful then other shows with much larger budgets and staff. I can't wait for the next show.
This time next year we'll all be listening.
This is a great show. I love the stories, and the story telling. Benjamen is kind of becoming a hero of mine.
