Rebekah Tiva ,

Brilliant!

It’s evident that there is a lot of money, care and consideration put into this podcast.

The production is great, the guests are interesting and serve a variety of topics and as such cater to a big audience.

Chris has excellent interviewing skills, his questions are deep, thoughtful and make the conversation interesting.

Some of the guests are regular guests on podcasts & it’s exciting to hear their reactions to Chris’ questions, which seem to differ from the questions they are normally asked around their work.

I appreciate the level of care, preparation & thought that goes into creating conversations at this level.

Depending on the guest, the vibe of the podcast somewhat changes. This adds variety to the listening experience itself, some episodes feel more science-y, others more fun & light, some very deep. Some are very pointed, others feel more like an exploration.

I sense an openness of the podcast to exploring different ways of thinking, which I find refreshing. There is overall growth that is very tangible.

VicHotLikeLava ,

Love this show

I get the feeling that, as a middle-aged child free feminist, I’m not the ‘target audience’ of this show, but I get so much out of it. Chris is a great interviewer, and there are many interesting topics and guests.

Verified_game_reviewer_ ,
