Always interesting, I look forward to your new podcast every week. Makes my daily commute a joy.
Enjoyable
Pity about all the adverts for betting .
No problem with adverts just the content
Qualifies for quality background noise from my experience
Can the host talk to one guest without pushing his own book? Great guests, good content, and I want to listen more, but constant self promotion just cheapens the whole production until it’s just too off putting.
I love all the guests on your show. I am quickly falling in love with chess myself and love to listen to this podcast while doing my daily routine! Great personalities and would like to see GothamChess back on the pod soon.
