A good conversation is more than a sequence of answers. It makes room for a person to explain how they arrived at an idea, what they are still considering and which details might change the picture.
Frequency is a place for those exchanges. Episodes, reading and notes sit together, with a clear way to find the recording and enough context to keep exploring after the conversation ends.

Listen for the detail
A particular experience, example or change of mind can give a conversation its useful centre.
