Deep Dive
This took me down a rabbit hole it was difficult to get out of. Check out the Alex Fridman episode on him and his book. Beyond amazing.
Just Engaging
I couldn’t help but binge the whole thing. Just a fascinating story.
Quite entertaining
I was put off by the voice used for commentary at the end of each episode as well as the repetitive and long recap at the beginning of each episode. That said, this is a very entertaining podcast. Good job. Please continue your work.
