  • Great Show

    Found this by accident- was mentioned by Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg Radio. I’m not in the industry but believe transport really tells you what’s going on in the economy. Lee gets some great guests including industry leaders, smaller firms and top Wall Street analysts. Glad I found it!
