Addictive, mind-blowing, intelligent: myth-busting at its best

Funny, smart, and important, the duo addresses bad science and social attitudes based on bias rather than facts. A refreshing take that keeps growing on you.

Very entertaining - lots of fun facts

All kinds of interesting things you never knew about the founder of Pilates. Nothing controversial about the exercise method itself, just the interesting, amusing and sometimes strange history surrounding it. A great commute listen. Thank you.
