- WiserPod update - We are doing a random season on anything an everything that interests us rather than any specific topic area. We have a few things to get out our system.
We are also trialing a new format for discussions to make the podcast more interesting and valuable to audiences. The goal is to provide new ideas you can't get elsewhere. As book summaries become easier to access we want to create something more unique and thought provoking.
