This show is so interesting, learning about so many different topics. It helps me fall asleep and pass time on walks and bike rides.

Such a talented storyteller

I’ve listened for years and even gone to see shows, you’ve always done an amazing job telling the stories in a great & respectful way. The recent uptick in ads (even when I pay for ad free) has sadly made the podcast almost unlistenable. There’s too many too frequently, I genuinely miss listening :/
