Customer Reviews
Enjoying this!
Only listened to a couple of episodes so far, but both were great! Loved episode 19 about information theory, the host and the guest really managed to cover all the essential aspects, with great examples to illustrate their points. Nice literature recommendations too!
Thanks for making this!
