This podcast is a bit like listening in to a conversation over a coffee. But a coffee in a university coffee shop or something. They cover 'oooh that's interesting' sort of topics and make them sound even more interest providing both actual fact and the sort of discussion / conjecture that appeals to anyone of inquiring mind. I definitely felt that I would enjoy being part of the discussion myself which is fab as so many podcasts seem quite highbrow or 'smug' which is off-putting. What is something I'll learn from myself is they clearly planned and researched the episode I listened to carefully (Pirates) but managed to make it sound off-the-cuff and natural which is a real skill. Definitely a good listen!
The two hosts of this podcast have a unique dynamic and a signature dry humo(u)r that makes them natural entertainers. They seem to enjoy toeing various lines, but fortunately I appreciate the catharsis associated with this type of discussion. It's a good show all around!
