Best episode yet!

The “what it’s like to be middle aged (in the Middle ages)” episode had it all! I didn’t want it to end. I love learning about centuries old human civilization, especially when we can compare it to what it’s like to live today. Thanks for bringing history alive and I hope you do another deep dive like this!
Simple and interesting

I read the book many years ago (don’t know if there’s many of them) and when I saw there’s a podcast, I didn’t imagine how many episodes there are. And you can be surprise how well documented they are and liked the book they have an extraordinary ending for a simple beginning!

Austan Goolsbee was a really fun interview guest. Who knew economics could be so entertaining! Great program with great questions.

This program has always been one of my favorites, and now too as a Podcast. Content rich is an understatement. In fact it was hitting close to home in the episode on Failure Part 1 and subsequent 3 episodes. The appeal has always been on how the host and editors reframe our life experience. Failure as a college course was introduced and makes so much sense. I do hope decision makers and educators listen to this entire series.
