“I just started listening to this podcast to better understand the chapters in the book which have such subtleties at times that you can almost miss a key piece of the story that is later circled back to. The hosts are great! Thank you for your banter and knowledge!”

“Like sitting cross legged looking up at a teacher read you aloud both the lines, and the context between them, except you’re not sitting there cross legged eyes wide open because Evan is doing that for you.
As Evan would say “that’s good juice””
