My favorite podcast. I learn so much. Thanks so much for all you do.
Oddly, the guests on this program are not always or even usually announced by name in the podcast. Apparently a listing of the guests and topics are found elsewhere. But for people using their phones and subscribing to the podcast through iTunes or other services and listening while driving or walking their dogs, this is of little help. Sometimes the host will start the episode by referring to the guest by their first name only! For me this is a major obstacle to enjoying the show.
Only thing they should do is make it twice as loud and it would be perfect
