First Class

My second time around listening to this podcast. A terrific line-up of guests with razor sharp insights derived from a diverse range of lived experiences, frequently contextualised by evidence from experts in history, language, the arts and more. This makes for a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience with a combination of the visceral and cerebral. Meghan and her team have done a great job pulling it all together into such a cohesive series.
