Fantastic

I’ve quickly fallen in love with this podcast! They discuss topics that are very relevant and affect us all, but that don’t necessarily get much attention in the news outlets. Very insightful, intelligent, interesting, plus the accents make it even better. Thanks for making my walks to the gym so much more educational! (Also love that the episodes are around 30 min)
