There are lots of great podcasts out there that we don't ever do notes on because they're high production value, great stories. Right. And there's. It doesn't really kind of fit. You don't need to take notes on those. Right. This American Life is obviously a great podcast, but it's kind of hard to see how we're going to take notes on that. And so within the space of interesting conversations to interviews, I think Matt, Matt's put up a few things that I totally agree on over time about what kind of great podcasters do. Really. You can tell when the interview we use, it's got like a list of questions and they're like, and what about this versus when someone's engaged because you know they're asking the right follow up questions.

You can find it at Stuart Allsop substack.com writing about a few different things, trying to find that niche that I really want to write about. But what we talked about in this, in this interview was actually the relationship between technology and spirituality which I'm going to start digging deep into and actually already had a few interviews which I published on Substack that are exclusive for Substack, which are really interesting. So I recommend you go check it out. Yeah. What, what relationship technology has with spirituality. And I can focus on the history, which I'm going to do at some point. But what Yoni really suggested here was that I focus on what's going on now and currently, particularly in blockchain, because there's a lot of interesting mixtures of spirituality.
