  • Podcast example of anyone with a mic can make a podcast

    Robert has some good insights, despite his privileged private school metropolitan bias occasionally coming out with some pretty stupid stuff. I’m afraid the Robert / Steph partnership does not work at all.

  • No balance from Steph

    Robert is good but Steph complains about every tax with no attempt to provide balance about the need to raise taxes from somewhere or the benefits of those taxes.

  • Why does Preston invite guests?

    It’s such a pitty that Preston likes his own voice so much. When he has interresting guests he has three minutes questions and gives his guest 15 secondes to answer. He interrupts and give his own oppionions. If he was really a good interviewer he would let his guests answer and tell about the subjects they know so much more about than Preston.
