Ep 66: Chris Kavanagh (pt 1) - Comparing Notes
March 15, 2022 13:00 - 2 hours - 141 MBI haven’t had a guest on in a while on the show, I’ve been so busy doing these deep dives and monologues on unsavoury idw characters. So, I thought maybe a change would be nice. In this episode, I chat with Chris Kavanagh (@C_Kavanagh) of the Decoding the Gurus podcast (@Guruspod). I’ve split our convo into two episodes, because it was looong. This part covers our conversation about Sam Harris & Chris’ recent chat with him.
