Listened to the most recent episode and I feel like they nerd out on the facts without getting into the deeper meaning of what abramohvic warped and what it meant for others.

Only complaint would be that I constantly have to adjust volume in my car bc Goodman speaks so much louder than Caley I find it hard to find a middle ground when listening on airpods. Otherwise I love the content.
