A Musk Listen
There are ideas most of us would deem dangerous or insane. Then there people(?) who are on The Luthor Scale. These are tales of extreme narcissism that are only slightly dramatized, with the podcast’s best moments being 100% grounded in reality. Looking forward to discussions of more real world supervillains.
Great Podcast Concept
Love the episode and look forward to hearing more, guys!! Great job!
