Super interesting
I love this podcast and have been listening to it for years. I look forward to learning about new fascinating people every week. Even the most difficult subject are explained in a way that it’s easy to understand. I also enjoy that the podcast covers subject from all over the world and helps me broaden my horizon. Thanks for teaching me so much that I definitely missed in history class.
Shockingly dull.
I used to suffer from insomnia until I listened to this pod cast. It’s a brilliant story but this isn’t it. The delivery is turgid, it would be difficult to tell it in a slower and more disinterested delivery. Best avoided.
Used to be great
Quality of the content has somehow got a lot worse over the past few years. Hosts are okay.
