It’s true
Looking deep into really important matters.
Kenny manages to interview his subjects in a manner which brings to the fore profound ideas in a very accessible way. His enthusiasm for each of the topics and curiosity about the interviewees makes for a lovely conversational flow and a really enjoyable listen.
I love this podcast. Kenny is a thoughtful interviewer and curates fantastic people to discuss stimulating ideas. Most of all, I like that it makes me ask big questions about life that are important but easily overlooked. Highly recommend!
