  • Big Ego

    Generally find the show informative but had to turn off the December 17 episode after Martin Wolf not only plugged his own writing 3 times in the first 11 minutes, but claimed that one listener's question had stolen what is a very generic idea from him.

    A little humility please, Mr.
