  • Excellent Content but amateurish hosting

    Excellent and diverse content which is generally very interesting. Unfortunately, the quality of the podcast is seriously diminished by the host’s poor interview skills – while knowledgeable his constant interjections of “Yeah,” “Right,” “Hmm,” etc., are amateurish and off putting.
