Each show is a conversation centered around one question, "What is the last best thing you've eaten, watched, listened to, or read?". I ask this question because people love sharing whatever they’re enthusiastic about recently, and I love hearing about it.

Jabbrjawz ,

A great listen

I love the entire premise of this show. I enjoy hearing about things people love and are passionate about, as well as sharing the things I enjoy with others. I love how easy these conversations feel, and Rod asks really great questions to his guests!
This is definitely a show you should listen to.
