Brilliant - Don’t Listen if you want to do Anything Else

This podcast is so captivating that you will never want to stop listening. It engages you down to your toes. When trying to go to sleep I listen to certain types of podcasts. Old radio shows do the trick. I can nod right off. Well….I made the mistake of listening to Smartless to try to go to sleep. It’s now 6:00 in the morning, and although on headphones, I keep waking up my wife with “suppressed” laughing. It is now 6:00 am. Back to Mystery Theater.

Ronan Farrow

I hadn’t listened to Smartless in a while but Ronan Farrow brought me back. Very interesting conversation.

90% male guest list

Every week I open my podcast app and check Smartless in hopes that maybe a woman will be interviewed since week after week it’s a dude. There are so many interesting women out there! Let’s hear them!
