    A good podcast with interesting guests. I do think the short two parters could be made into one episode as they’re really not that long. One other thing which would make this podcast better is to please fix the audio! The host sounds like she’s in a tunnel sometimes, it’s quite muffled and echoing. Love the topics, thanks.
