Excellent Podcast
I can’t describe adequately how much I enjoy this podcast. I’ve learned so much about the mundane everyday things that we use in our daily lives and take for granted. I think this show is on a pause. I hope they come back. It would be so disappointing to not have this to look forward to anymore. So well done. Such a great team and all the learning. Thank u for this idea and high level execution.
Fascinating!
Zachary is an amazing host and does a great job of giving a deep information dive, while keeping the light tone of a conversation. I have learned so much and look at the world around me differently! I think an episode on the economics of paint and paint colors would be very interesting! Why does Pantone need a color of the year? Does it matter?
Too shallow, too many ads
I had high hopes but the content is very superficial which makes the 3-5 minutes of ads per episode too much. There are other podcast that cover these topics more robustly.
Amazing and efficient
Such an amazing podcast it really dives into everyday topics to see what the monetary impact is and gives me a great perspective of what I think my city should invest in like trees vs what the costs accosted with owning a laundry matte. I feel so much smarter every time I listen to it.
Must listen
This podcast is one of the best! So fascinating straight to the point and learn something new every time!!! Give it a listen!!
