Customer Reviews
Always informative
The topics are consistently interesting, from all over the world, with knowledgeable guest experts. The host is respectful and sounds like someone you’d love to have a yarn with. I just wish he’d stop interrupting his guests when they’re talking.
Probably the best “conversation-style” show
This show is always an exciting listen. You never know what the subjects will be, but they are always interesting. The host is smart, engaged and knows what he’s talking about. Sometime he’s a bit TOO measured though... I tend to put the speed at 1.5x :)
Why Jonathan Green?
I am a big fan of LNL, but why has P Adams been replaced by Jonathan Green (on Wednesday and Thursday)? I understand that Philip’s health is possibly waning, but Jonathan Green? He giggle snorts his way through Blueprint for Living - which might be ok for a marshmallow take on life, but - HE IS TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE FOR LNL. Find someone better!
