  • Informative and heartwarming

    Jonah Platt has managed to deliver content that is both informative and heartwarming. That’s very difficult to accomplish. As I was listening, all I could think of was Jonah is one part old soul, that I sorely miss, and spokesman for a generation that I don’t understand or have access to. Both of which I value and need. I can’t think of any other voice that accomplishes both of these so brilliantly. Thank you, Jonah, I needed that.
