New listener here and enjoying it so far. David is relatable and doesn’t talk down to you, which I appreciate. Everyone can gain something from this podcast, and each episode has just the right amount of info to not overwhelm you. Thank you for putting this out!
Because of your incompetence I didn't research and thought it was just bogus. You have costed thousands of listeners millions of dollars in opportunity cost because of your dumbness
I struggle with David’s podcasting voice. His tempo, his inflections, his tone, to me, make everything sound both “really important” and “really mundane” simultaneously. Also, the fact that his ads have no backgound music, and sound exactly like his monologue is really annoying. The info he shares is fine, I just don’t enjoy listening to much of it very often.
Thanks for putting together the show with insightful interviews. Love the content, and it helps more people stay informed on many things investing.
Loving this podcast, it is educational and entertaining. David is a great host!
