Glad I found this podcast

One of my favorite

Thoughtful, intellectual, data driven, philosophical, objective, and provocative. These are a few words which describe the podcasts theme which is: how technology is insufficient in solving life’s most difficult problems. Be prepared to have your prejudices challenged in a respectful way.

Great new podcast

One of the things I like most about this podcast is the ability to bring to light issues that on a whole the majority of the population don't really consider but should.
