Sending Hannah a virtual hug

Just finished listening to the episode on pain today and it struck me how much poor Hannah has gone through in the last few years. Getting cancer, going through a divorce, losing her dad and I think she mentioned on another separate pod going through a tough time after a birth. I hope she’s doing ok these days and has a good support network around her, sending you all the virtual love in the world Hannah!!!!

As an aside, those cluster headaches her ex husband has sound horrendous, the poor guy has had a rough time of things as well

How far in advance do they record the podcast?

I wanted to email in a question but I don’t think it’ll get answered now, RIP Micheal

What makes a good question?

Hello! I am investigating what makes a good question because I'm developing an app to have good and interesting conversations based on what people are curious about.

I've come to the conclusion that there are some archetypes of questions that open up something interesting.

What good question have you been asked and what's your favorite question this podcast has addressed?

Should Hannah have a bigger role in the podcast?

I only recently got into the podcast- a couple of months. I may have watched about 12 or so episodes. In almost every episode, it’s Michael coming up with topics/concepts and explaining it to Hannah. I mostly have seen her being a sounding board for Michael. Don’t get me wrong, she brings in some super interesting perspectives, but I see the podcast as being led by Michael. Again, without Hannah, I don’t think this show would work. I just wish some episodes are Hannah-led and Michael takes a back seat. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me being new to the podcast and not having watched enough episodes?
