March 29th, this is the second time I’ve listened to this, because the first time was last week when I was being evicted. I could not give it the time it deserved. This podcast is my life. Thank you for all your compassionate, thoughtful information. Your a life raft in my rapidly declining life❣️
Every interview is eye-opening
I get a surprise every time I listen to an interview. Such deep and daring thinkers and Rob Johnson is a great host, making wonderful connections from economics to humanity, to art and music.
Change your Intro. Music
Great content, but please please change your intro music. It’s so corny and out of place. Get some low-key instrumental synth wave as intro music. Take a nod from NPR.
