Just found this show, and found two of the two Episodes I’ve heard so far (Authors Elizabeth Kolbert, and Meredith Broussard’s Interviews), to be of extreme contemporary relevance. Though short, by my standards (since I do like longer Podcast Episodes), I’ve found that, in that short half hour, both of them were of High Contemporary (even urgent) relevance, well-made, factual, and without use of inflamatory language, nor use of vulgar, coarse language, like so many other Podcasts can be. In an age of Fb and instagram-like foolishness, we need more such Podcasts. Podcasts such as these go well beyond just “entertainment” or “distraction”, they actually Educate and Inform the Listener, to very important issues, we all must become aware of. Hoping there will be more such Episodes, and I’ll continue listening to them.
