“I’m more and more selective with sounds. Silence is crips and refreshing, it is rare for me that something is better.
Dessa’s podcast is the only one I keep returning too.
So funky - and quirky - and deep - and suspended from judgment - and diverse - and great resources and interviewees - and...”Read full review »

“I was enjoying this podcast until you interviewed a former IDF member in the hate episode. Why would you interview a literal settler colonialist? I’m tired of the Pro-Israel rhetoric bye.”

“Man. I was on a podcast hiatus, tired of everything, then clicked randomly on this. Now I’m in love with the show and a little bit with Dessa. The production value is super high (music, editing, etc.) and the subject matter well covered. That said, my favorite part is the writing. I believe most...”Read full review »

“I’m an enormous Dessa fan, a pop science nerd, and a constant podcast listener, so when this show appeared on the scene, it was as if someone had said, “Hey, make a Venn diagram of things you love, and you can have whatever is in the exact center.” Two seasons in, it continues to live up to its...”Read full review »

Topics are interesting and relatable. So many podcasts now are entirely focused around ads and putting a spotlight on this weeks...”Read full review »

There’s always something in each episode that “hits home” (of course, some more than others), and always something to be learned. The title pretty much says it all. Dessa and guests share with honesty,...”Read full review »
