  • Easily the episode could have been half long, without losing any quality.

    It's an outpour of free thoughts with very lose structure, and many, many, many repetitions.

    And it's been like this for a while.

    Otherwise, Mr. Buck is very likeable character with nice technical content he is producing.

  • Wish I would’ve heard sooner

    Tom is super helpful and thorough in his explanations. I started a podcast a year ago and wish I would found out about him back then. But better late than never. Thanks Tom!
