I found the ideas interesting enough but did have to listen to it at a faster speed as it was not quite engaging enough for my ADHD brain to listen to it at a regular speed.
Haven't listened to very many and will update if listening to more of them effects the overall rating.

Interesting enough.

Tom and Dominic are a wonderful team. Intelligent and a quirky sense of humour.
Can't think of a better way to spend some listening time when I'm working in a paddock in Oz.

Endlessly entertaining and informative - love it!
