Absolutely love this podcast! Josh and Chuck have an incredible way of weaving together such diverse topics in a way that's both entertaining and enlightening. Every episode feels like a deep dive into something new and fascinating, and I always walk away with more knowledge than I had before. Their chemistry makes it feel like you're just hanging out with friends, discussing everything from history to science. Can't wait for the next episode! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/premier-candle-packaging-provider-uk-candle-boxes-uk-w5voe
