Excellent!

Enjoy the topics presented with enthusiasm and humor by the delightful hosts. I do agree with another review that the topics are interesting enough by themselves that there doesn’t need to be background music. Nonetheless, the podcast is excellent. Thank you.

Great Podcast!

My kids love listening to this on the way to school. One note - I think there’s too much background music when people are talking. The stuff is interesting enough. Don’t need wall to wall beats. Great stuff!!
