I feel like you should've included something by Isaac Asimov. He is an enormous force in science fiction and his Foundation Series should be read by everyone.

One of the most balanced commentaries I've heard. I am a legal immigrant and my process to be admitted in the country is not over and hasn't been easy at all. I come from a Latin American country, but the way illegal immigration has been handled in the last 5 years, not only is like mocking me and all the struggles I had to go through, but also has been harming other illegal immigrants that really need help and come with the best of intentions. Thank you, Trent, for such a great episode.

As soos as I read the title of today's episode, I sent it to my husband. I knew he would enjoy it because he plays music in church and he hates all those and other hippie hymns. Thanks very much, Trent.

Trent, I grew up with bananas in the backyard and we had so many, that I got bored of eating bananas. But I like banana bread and other pastries with bananas.

I did this pilgrimage in 2024! Absalutly amazing experience. The last mile as you walk up the hill to the Abby, the bells were ringing and it felt like being called home. One of the top 3 moments in my life.
