  • Lots of good information, but…

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few years now. There are are some real gems of information here.

    But beware of contacting any of the experts being interviewed here. I contacted a tax expert who was interviewed about pensions about a complicated international government pension situation I had that he had actually touched upon in the interview. I got some useful initial advice, then lots of requests for money for research being undertaken, but very small real results. I ended up solv... more

  • Great content that is ruined with audio quality

    The content is great but the uneven sound volume make it barely listenable. The host's sound level is always much higher than that of the guest so I find myself constantly fidgeting with the volume knob going up and down trying not to destroy my hearings. Not good while driving.

    So if I could make any constructive criticism would be to invest in better editing, mic placement, and volume leveling software. Uneven sound levels are one of the biggest podcast killers.

  • Overall delightful, only small critiques

    I have thoroughly enjoyed about 5 or 6 episodes so far over the past 2 days. Some of the older ones have volume discrepancies between the speakers, which can be a little annoying. Most of them have been great & relatively natural interview type conversations. Some feel a little too short, as it seems difficult to really explain all of the aspects of certain parts of moving or living in another country without rambling, but the grittty details are some of my favorite parts. I usually come away wi... more
