Shoutouts:

  • People 2 – “a fantastic podcast. Spontaneous, rich, deep. What separates this podcast from the other good ones is probably the length of the episodes and their density. That might not be perceptible immediately, but it’s a colossal work. Good job!”
  • Mortamid Nadia – “I thought that this podcast was a humorous one, once again, I’ve loved the transcript as well, as of course the podcast. For me, everything seems to be perfect. In the transcript, things are lucid and well explained. You guys have clarified it enough, I really have nothing else to say so far. Keep up the good work!”

    Hi there guys!
    Nice podcast!
    Could you please revise the transcript? I think the lyrics of “One Sweet World” are little bit odd 🙂
    Cya!
