Podcast Addict52 months agoMrBishop- Nat: say less, you bulldozer.
The information learned from this podcast is valuable but Nat uses 200 words when 20 would suffice. He will 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 pod

The recent discussions surrounding Iran have been especially timely and insightful.
Where I think the podcast falls short is in its coverage of... more

“Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad”. Chad and Mr Global are excellent experts and I learn a lot from them. Nat is just too much. I agree with probably everything he does, but he’s interjecting his opinion too much and is somewhat irritating. I wish he’d simply ask questions and let the experts discuss.
