  • Annoying chips noise

    Annoying to hear background noise like the sound of eating chips when trying to focus on the content.

  • Informative and Attractive

    Thank you so much for creating these podcasts. I have learned a lot about the chip industry. As learn more, I am more open to investing. If I may, you both have very handsome voices. Do you accessorize? Have you ever considered a clever hat or snappy suspenders? Both can be exhilarating! Keep up the great work!
