Very knowledgeable about a great deal. I am not nearly so up on the details of such a variety of topics, but this podcast is informative while also thought provoking. And yet it is ..... soothing. Give it a shot, particularly for all those couples who met with disproportionate geek credentials but now Netflix several episodes of Star Trek after the kids are in bed. Each pod has a couple areas of focus, so maybe glance to be sure the one you try is down your alley, as they say.
