This interview with David Karpf is excellent. Hope to hear more from him on your show. His analysis of how to communicate in today’s media environment is very insightful. Thanks, Greg, for bringing him in.
Always good conversation but Meredith Shiner today was outstanding.
I appreciate Greg’s efforts and (low-affect!) passion, but, generally, among both hosts and guests — not enough information and substance and too much whining and rehashing (of news we already know, if you’re moderately informed). I understand the challenge of a daily podcast. Still, if I just wanted to have someone rile me up, I’d use social media (which I do not).
I look forward to this podcast every morning! Thank you for keeping us informed and up-to-date! The biggest thank you is for keeping it real and honest and not pulling any punches with the reality of what's going on.
I know music costs money, BUT your lead in riff is sophmoric. Level up. Sorry/not sorry
