It’s always a relief to hear somebody’s already been doing the hard work 😉 and, even better, making the right analysis
I really like how they talk about important topics in an understandable way, without hype, fear or sensationalism
Love this podcast. I don’t have any legal background, and I understand what’s being discussed. In depth conversation for people who want to go deeper/understand more.
