Daniel’s interview questions are often unbearably long. I ran out of patience after a few episodes. He just goes on and on and on with multiple layers of questions and context before letting the interviewee speak. Several hundreds words at least!
Dan Denvir’s podcast has introduced me to many brave thinkers, historical events, and interesting ideas that have changed the way I understand the world. I recommend to anyone who wants to DIG in to our human histories.

We hear too often “we see what’s happening in dc” without proper and justified discussion on the specifics. Thanks Dan
