“GREAT PODCAST
I learn something every time I listen.
Snippets of recent history, the human condition.
It’s like reading a novel, overcoming adversity, chasing dreams, the effects of CHANCE and fate. Real emotion and personal.”

“This podcast is truly great in terms of the catalog of guests and the way the host allows them to tell their story. If the audio was better and more clear this podcast would be a 10/10 in my opinion. In a lot of the episodes the audio quality is quite poor. I will keep listening nonetheless though.”
