So excellent!
Absolutely spot on series. Puts out great questions and allows for balanced interactions to begin answering them. I wish the eps were longer but that’s just because I’m sad when they’re over.

Intrusive background noise
I thought the ideas were interesting and promising but was constantly distracted and irritated by the background music which was trivial synthesised space filler. I had to stop listening. I can’t give a fair rating because I couldn’t continue.
