Great job!

I absolutely love this podcast and it’s truly global coverage as well as varied themes. I listen to almost all episodes and have shelves other podcasts to keep up with this one. The only minus in recent times is the ad nauseum coverage of the Ukraine crisis. It was okay in the first few weeks of the war but now I avoid the podcast as there are more urgent matters emerging every day in my and other parts of the world. But overall, excellent podcast!
