The topics are wide ranging & relevant, but David Golay has no business hosting or interviewing. His pause every 5-7 words is madness, and guests / listeners think he stopped talking. Worse his constant intros & use of "well, uh, well" and "I guess we'll see" is audio fingernails on the chalkboard. Dude is unlistenable
After 20+ pods I can say the topics are wide ranging & relevant, but David Golays habit of pausing every 3-5 words is maddening and he says "well, and
