This is a podcast for listeners seeking information on topics they never considered, but definitely should know about. Easy to listen to, well-researched, and always interesting. I throw these on when I’m walking, doing chores, or driving. My only suggestion is to please make even more 😭

One of the best ‘start from the beginning’ shows. Most aren’t connected, but these stories dont get old.

Feels a bit NPR-ish. Host makes needless political jabs constantly, and most are a reach. They add nothing to the show. The host is quite smug, which is off-putting.
