Informative

This podcast is pretty good, it covers a wide variety of topics but my only issue is that it’s a majority male guests. I’d love to see more diversity with female/non binary guests

Nice podcast bad ads

Good content but the advertisement for destructive religious cults and rascist groups is disturbing. Change the advertisers. This is gross

Guests are interesting, host not so much

This podcast brings to light a lot of highly qualified guests who have valuable ideas to discuss. Sometimes the host struggles to grasp the concept in order to engage fully. I sometimes need to skip sections in order to manage my annoyance, but maybe the juxtaposition can be helpful for others.
