  • Very informative

    I stumble onto this podcast and I’m very glad I did. It features really interesting discussions between two very knowledgeable men with slightly different perspectives. I learned something every time I listen. The only thing I wish they’d stop doing is inserting each other’s first name at the end of almost every sentence, it’s odd.
