Highly recommended. Topics are really wide ranging and can feel random, though all tied together by ‘design’. Absolute favourite… oh, And that voice.
love it

Really enjoyed the episode “Life and Death in Singapore”! As a Singaporean, I actually had no idea about how Singapore had to demolish that many graves for public housing. A very riveting listen!
Best podcast in the universe
