Fascinating and fun
Love this podcast already. Smart, fun, well-produced, interesting, and a quick listen - and the music is particularly good. Everything I want in a pod, y'all.
This is fantastic
Such good insight. Will listen to this regularly. Great, great work.
Well worth it.
If all podcasts could start this tight and well produced. They obviously have radio skills but know how an entertaining 15-minute podcast should sound. Well worth it. I’m looking forward to episode 2.
