Throughly Enjoyable

I’ve been listening for years. Daniel makes for the best conversations, informative, fun, & truly genuine. (I miss Mathias) Daniel holds his own, & now that Mags is there; they have great chemistry & she’s a wonderful addition to the show. You feel like your in the friend circle listening.

Incredibly informational podcast

This podcast is my favorite to listen to. Just overall enjoyable to get the perspective of a scholarly and an introductory point of view.
