"Partners takes the same approach to partnership, and as a result may be the least technical, most human, and loveliest show he’s made yet. At a moment when the pandemic and politics continue to wreak havoc on daily human connection, stories of sometimes messy but still successful collaborations will bring a smile to your face."

"As with Song Exploder, Hirway removes himself almost entirely from the finished product, leaving the guests to speak for themselves without interuption. This already impactful technique is elevated further in this podcast as it allows the natural chemistry of the partners in each episode to shape the story flow. What’s left is a richly satisfying podcast that flows seamlessly..."

"...intimate and eye-opening look into the complexities of collaboration...Partners will also appeal to anyone attempting to navigate their own professional, romantic, or business partnerships. Partners is a supremely fun, bingeable listen."
