What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I recently got hooked on this podcast and I’m enjoying it very much. Jeff interviews guest from all walks of life and delivers a compelling and easy listening podcast. He doesn’t talk over the guests, and always has the right question to keep interview moving and interesting.
