  • Disappointed

    Enjoy the pod but lost respect for Galen for not standing up forThe I.D.S newspaper. Looks like he sold out the kids to protect his own interests.

    I have followed for decades (MD, '80 IU). Galen is the smartest and most efficient analyst I have ever heard. Strong work!

  • ESPN show

    I enjoyed this show. As a boomer I watch games on ESPN but I don’t watch any of the shows. I think they are boring. I wasn’t aware of the effort to recoup money with the betting angle. But I get it now.

    I prefer listening to podcasts on the Apple app over watching on YouTube. So many podcasts encourage watching on YouTube. What am I missing?

    Also, I really like Substack.
