Informative and Dynamic Perspectives

Huge fan of the the pod ! Host Mario and guests give raw and educated perspectives on everyday phrases we hear in conversation, tv , media but the meaning goes way over our heads. I know for me personally I’ve learned a few new phrases from this podcast already that I am now able to hear and digest listening to the world around me! Good looking out and keep up the great work !
