much improved
The content is great and addresses a broad range of topics. I had previously reported that they were only publishing 5 min previews, but they have gone back to publishing full episodes and I thank them for listening to their listeners. No pun intended.
It's like TedxPNW all year round
In depth compelling topics; take a listen.
