The chemistry of knowledge
David Yas delivers a well-balanced mix of engaging conversation and useful information for the listeners. He’s had authors, professionals, business owners as guests on the pod. I’ve read books because of his pod and I’ve even bought donuts because of his pod (the Kane’s Donuts episode). Keep at it, David! You truly are “The Good Stuff”. . .
I’m Not From Boston but so what!
David Yas is a very good broadcaster. He makes all these podcasts enjoyable no matter the guest. This is his freakin city!
Amazing
Haven’t lived in New England in over 20 years but started listening to Pod617 to keep up on what’s going on. David Yas is an absolute delight! Smart, funny, insightful. The wonderful Ed Nathanson and Kerri Daniels-Tabasky also drive me to listen more. Could not be happier with what Pod617 is putting out!
