  • Great guests, topics, conversations

    Thanks, I’ve learned so much. One note, please consider letting conversations flow a bit more, with fewer interruptions. Sometimes when you interrupt the guest, it distracts me the listener, and I wonder if it distracts the guest also. Anyway, thanks for a brilliant show.

  • Volume up, please

    This is a cycling podcast, which means listeners are likely to be listening while riding and thus in wind. So please don’t be too quiet.
