  • I’m so honoured! :-)

    Great podcast. Carl knows his stuff and presents it in a lighthearted yet still informative manner. But Carl, if you read this, your interview with Jean Zimmerman was a disappointment. You didn’t ask her questions and allow her answer so much as you told her what you knew or thought then asked if she agreed. You made her your sounding board not your guest. But I forgive you. Carry on with the otherwise very good work.

  • Style

    Mr. Raymond - you must learn to phrase your interview questions to your guests better and more smoothly instead of always saying to your guests "Can you talk about..." ... this or that - it's a grammatically and conversationally poor lead-in. And you repeat it to the point of distraction, jumping and changing from topic to topic. The historical info is good, just a style point.
