Customer Reviews
Rory, thank you
Thank you for going on Sam Harris’s podcast twice. You are an absolutely delightful and thoughtful, provoking guest. I hope you get a chance to come on there again to talk about the subjects you were hoping to get to cover a little bit of that you spoke about early on the second episode. where are you and Sam disagreed? I find it to be refreshing to hear two people willing to talk about their disagreements in such a civil way. But I’d love to hear where you two could talk about other topics that you also agree on
The "US" series is awful
I love the main show, but the US series is a totally different show and now you can't subscribe to the main show without also getting the annoying US one. Can you please make the US thing a separate show so I can not receive it?
Huge miss
I’m in the states and think Katty Kay is great but you guys thinking that Scaramucci is a credible commentator of US politics is laughable. He’s a punch line. Poor judgement.
