Entertaining and informative, great podcast.
Without Nat Towsen's nauseating carnival barker style of presentation, as well as his attempts at a comedy which always fall flat, this show would be 5 stars. He contributes nothing to it. Like a skin tag.
However very informative from the other cohosts, I've learned so much and appreciate it.
The information learned from this podcast is valuable but Nat uses 200 words when 20 would suffice. He’ll interrupt his own cohosts to ask a question then cut himself off to ask the same question in a different way, it’s infuriating. I skip through when he starts talking half the time and he is the only reason I don’t recommend this podcast.
I want to like this Podcast because Chad Scott is well known to me. I respect his analysis. I am frustrated with the tendency of this podcast to go on at length with descriptions of problems without offering solutions. A recent podcast on the wealth distribution is a great example. Nothing was suggested as a way of fixing wealth distribution.
3 people that are passionate about what they speak on. They are subject matter experts and take the time to educate. While I font always agree, I truly appreciate their perspective
