Kundenrezensionen
Please do more episodes during quarantine
Just listened to the episode with dr. Benatar and I have really enjoyed it. He makes some really interesting points and you ask exactly the question that arise in my mind as well! I’ve loved the episodes before as well and I do think a discussion works slightly better in person but please do still do the episodes even while that’s not possible, I would love to listen to them.
Great guests, but the host is too much of a detailed stickler
I just listened to the episode with Peter Bhogassian and felt the conversation was totally led astray by the host’s insisting on arcane thought experiments.
Changed my mind
Alex has a way to ask great questions and challenge his guest in a nice and interesting way
