This show is amazing. It’s hilarious and always fascinating. Each episode is completely unique. You’ll learn about religion, ethics, history, and more. The host is cheeky and a tad sardonic; he always has an air of humor while asking exactly the questions you were thinking of while listening. Highly recommended.
