I went looking for more information on these issues, recognizing positions were polarized. Came away with a better understanding, knowing a variety of viewpoints had been explored and honoured. Absorbing.

Interesting, topical, seems balanced

Happy to hear a cross section of the topic from all angles. Happy to hear two trips with “she who must not be named” as to give time to ask questions that came up with other interviews.

Thought provoking
