This is one of my favorite podcasts. I've learned a ton of neat info and have been directed to other great books and podcasts as well. Plus listening to Bob and Mickey feels like a weekly catch-up with friends.

Description

Conversations with a series of people who have nothing in common except that program host Robert Wright is curious about what they’re thinking.
