The Podcast App keeps getting worse. Now I have to put up with whatever Podcasts Apple are hawking for the month appearing at the bottom of my screen every time I open the app.
That said, I will give this a try, this isn't a series I probably would have tried but the premise sounds...insightful and may broaden my knowledge for growth I didn't know I could use.
I'm not interested in 99% of what Apple promotes. Seems to be mostly crime shows.
However, this is an excellent premise for a podcast and I think this was a good choice.
