Where has this podcast been all my life?

A beautiful show ruined by ads

One of my favorite podcasts about a guy who made ad free tv for kids to teach about something bigger.. ironic this beautiful, well done show has been ruined with ads. Disrespectful to the people who put their energy into making this and the man they are trying to represent

We all need this

Such an interesting podcast that tells a story, but challenges the listener to evaluate their own feelings, thoughts and positions in todays world.
