Decent podcast with good guests and host on most subject. What is most annoying is their under voiced poltical banter all
The time about a Trump, or climate change, Mixing in their bias over and over again like most liberals do, 8 truths and 2 lies spoken as truth. Most listeners will eat it up by the spoonful, but obviously biased from the experience of studio and microphone.
An issue I run into with geopolitics is that it’s very clear what the persons bias/politics are within the first 10 minutes of a show.
After being a listener for all of 26, I still can’t pin down his politics/bias (unless told upfront). It’s a breath of fresh air of just pure geopolitical analysis facts and informed opinions.
Jacob, I really like both your shows. But I LOVE J Mintzmyer. I listen to any podcast that has him on, don’t care what podcast it is. He had a guest appearance on the Market Huddle a couple years ago. What a revelation! It got me out of my normal investing lanes which is rare, extremely refreshing and exciting, and it’s paid off in spades.
You have a really good show, I’m a somewhat regular listener, but you get 5 stars purely for this one episode. Well done sir, well done indeed. Love you J! ... more
Thank you for sharing so generously- great guests and best of all- the new professional opening and closing announcer (worth listening just for those)
Sometimes these guys lament the state of the world entirely too much.
For a geopolitical podcast, there’s more lamenting than expected, and less analysis than desired (unless Rob is talking).
