Very interesting.....
Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!
Love
Thank you both from the bottom of my heart. You have made the last 10 years of my life better. Whether learning new things that allow me to relate to people, helping pass the time on a long plane ride or simply giving me a sense of peace as I drift off to sleep, you have made a positive impact on my life. Education is the only way out of the mess this world is in, and you 2 make learning fun and enjoyable to listen to in an easy non-hate filled way. Thank you for the laughs and knowledge. Without you, I probably would be dead or in prison.
Sincerely,
Chris
Stay in your lane
Good show. But dipping into back episodes I heard the host opine on what he wrongly believes is the subjective, “it’s just your opinion,” nature of music. You are wrong,(objectively.) Hypothetically, if one were to argue that Ugly Kid Joes I Hate Everything About You is a better song than say, Led Zep’s The Rain Song, they would be 100% wrong.
