The Better Show

Better Podcasts: Part 1

Episode Summary

We share an impromptu discussion about some of our favorite podcasts as well as some of the new shows we've discovered lately. 

Episode Notes

Ian, March, and I have a dedicated group chat channel called #podcasts_to_follow where we share interesting podcasts with one another. This week, we decided to share our favorite podcasts with you as well as some of the new shows we've discovered lately. 

As we sat down to record this week's episode, March ran into some last minute technical difficulties and wasn't able to join the recording session so it's just Ian and me this week. We had such a fun time talking about our new podcast discoveries that we plan to do another episode just like this in the future where March can chime in with his favorites and we feature recommendations from The Better Show community.
