Besides that, it is wonderfully written. Totally recommend it. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

This is the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. Now the bar is so high that I simply can’t enjoy any other podcasts 😀 During the quarantine I’ve listened all the episodes and I’m truly stunned by Nate’s knowledge and incredible ability to deliver such profound stories in just 10-15 minutes.
