Enjoyable!
I’ve been listening to this podcast every day on my bike ride to work. Adam and Kyle are humorous and easy to listen to. I am especially taken with how they told the Ariel Castro story as a survivor story about Michelle, Amanda, and Gina - instead of focusing on the shock and awe of the awful ordeal. I enjoy the light hearted conversations and not-too-detailed overview of interesting events.
