boblannon ,

Frank, friendly discussions with real depth of content

The first two episodes have been really fascinating. They let their guests speak at length and be very frank.

The first one was from a climate activist with some good discussion of access vs influence and whether activism achieves anything at all.

The newest one is from a Russian Poli scientist who is teaching me a lot about the last year.
