So good

I just watched season one for the second time and listened to these episodes for the second time as well. Love these hosts and their obvious love of the literature and “good tv.” Can’t wait for season two!!

Great Balance

I would say I have average knowledge of Earth. This podcast was perfect for me. I learned a lot, and both guys do a great job at talking to their wide audience.
