Life does matter

This podcat is categorized "kids & family" and I found this misleading. I expected to hear about raising children, parenting issues, etc. But it is so much more and better. It's really about what matters in life through convesations. I love this show.

Efficient or just rude?

It’s obvious that the interviewer is bored and wants to end each conversation as quickly - oh I mean efficiently - as possible ...
Time is of the essence, or is it just a pain in the neck?

Thought-provoking and thoughtful

The issues covered in this podcast are relevant to all of us, even outside of Australia, and coverage is thorough. The host creates a real community and treats subjects with intellect and compassion. I wish we had a similar program in the U.S.
