Seriously do yourself a favor, listen to ALL!

Listening to these intimate conversations between smart, evolved, thoughtful and interesting people never gets old. Or at this point, even optional in my life - that’s how much I get out of this podcast. All of them unique in every way too! Thank you for the inspiration, the motivation, and most of all - at times even restoring my faith in human kind.

A much to short family reunion

I could have listened to this for another 12 hours. It was just a lovely homecoming at the end the there was a disappointment and a longing to give each of them a hug of thanks.

Love it

Been an Alan Alda fan as long as I can remember,so listening to him talk is just so cozy. The fact that I learn while indulging makes it worth all five stars. I hope this goes on for ages more
