Provocative, entertaining, and educational

The show is in heavy rotation for me. The conversation between Adam, Joanna, and Zach is always provocative, insightful, and deep. The hosts have great chemistry, the topics are all the way, interesting and relevant, and the length of each episode is perfect for my commute.I’ve learned so much over the last year from listening to this podcast. It’s a wonderful companion to an excellent publication.
