Customer Reviews
Gave me chills
OMG I forget what it’s like to hear a really prosocial tech voice!!! People are always either dystopian or naive. This is going to be soooo cool!
Understandable and relevant
Each of us reserve the right to learn more. Science and tech can be leveraged to grow and maintain healthy connections to information, experiences, and people- this podcast helps distill complex concepts into relatable and accessible understanding. This is a high quality production with easy to follow content.
Sounds Promising
It’s a really promising start, it’s a remarkably high quality ‘episode 0’. I look forward to seeing where this goes, I certainly couldn’t agree more that lack of understanding is the most divisive problem we face.
