One of the bests!
so well researched, funny and enjoyable to listen to. somehow they manage to deconstruct the books they talked about while at the same time taking the authors' claims seriously. I’m a paying subscriber and recommend this podcast to everyone:)
Trashing all my favourite books and I love it
Great podcast, Michael Gladwell Outliers episode broke my heart as a former 14yo who would literally have notebooks counting to 10 000 hours for different skills (what a little psycho). Super fun concept about airport books, now I believe nothing and doubt everything. Would recommend to everyone
