  • Sound quality

    Ep 575 had such poor sound quality for the guest. It was virtually impossible to understand. If the guest is on a mobile phone you need to ensure quality. Disappointing as what I could discern was really useful.

  • Hits the points. Good guests. Even better host that should have better guests.

    Really a top notch gentleman. Wish he would push a bit more and not ease on some gueats. He could get even better guests simply because of the quality of his interviewing. Great industry expert and podcast.
