Pure joy

I absolutely love this podcast. Even when guests are on that I have no interest in (or think I have no interest in) like F1 drivers etc, I still learn something. This podcast is just pure joy for me! It makes me sure that there is a better world out there!
Ruined by adverts.

Having listened to this from the start during lockdown, I’m perplexed why someone who professes to the Infinite Game doesn’t give listeners the option to pay for an ad-free version of the podcast, rather than being bombarded with cheap/irrelevant ads which spoils the joy of the content (which is great).
Fantastic!
