  • Podcasting at Its Best

    I'm the host of the Chabla Show, and I had a fantastic time interviewing Elizabeth. Her sharp comedic timing and eloquence were truly impressive. The episode she co-hosted with Richard, Passage to Profit, is just as outstanding—they stay on point while keeping the humor flowing. The show is expertly produced, and I’m a big fan of their work as podcasters.
