Larry Miller - The New York Voice of God

I could listen to Larry read an instruction manual to something very uninteresting and be completely enthralled and excited about it. One of the best voices out there! Love the topics. Love the storytelling. Love the pod.

Incredible Insights

This podcast is brilliant in its selection of topics and the conversations are so insightful. After each episode, I typically have a list of 5-6 items to research that I didn’t know or understand, so it pushes me and helps me expand my understanding. Loyal listener!
