Best podcast?
I stole the headline. I honestly think this is the best podcast around. Cara keeps it interesting and I just love it. Very thought provoking and challenges me every way possible.
Can't stop listening
I found this podcast few months back and I have been binge listening to it every since, waiting for new episodes and in between catching up on the old ones.I like its conversational character which makes it easy to follow and relate to but it is very educational (and funny!) at the same time.also love the swearing :) and killer!
Want to Love This
I cannot wait to hear Cara on SGU. But on this one, has anyone thought to do a guest to host word count? I keep checking in, and then checking out. Urgh. I want to love this. Not sure what my problem is.
