Customer Reviews
Accessible but not simplistic
I first learned of this podcast due to the 10/23/23 crossover episode with the Brom podcast. I wish I’d known of it earlier.
A standout feature are the interludes which explain the more unfamiliar or difficult aspects of the discussion. This allows the main conversation to proceed at a high level without leaving novices behind. I wish more podcasts did this.
Incredible Podcast
Probably my favorite podcast. I learn something new with every podcast.
