Love it

Great podcast

I hate this APP!!!!!!!!@#@ ,

Read the book first

After reading the anxious generation, I came to this podcast to hear some further discussion about the book. Disappointed to quickly learn that neither podcast host had actually read the book before spending an hour talking about the book. From the first couple of minutes, they already got some of the facts wrong. It’s important to do the homework. Read the book before you do a podcast about it.
