I also love these podcasts. Not only can I listen on the go, but the content is usually expanded or different in some way. Tony’s time with Hodinkee plus his previous experience with Eric Wind on Significant Watches (RIP) makes him a great interviewer or monologuer, unlike a lot of other single person recorded content.
Very enjoyable to listen in on Tony’s perspective on watches
Fantastic! Love the audio versions of the newsletter!
Always enjoy hearing Mr Traina’s dulcet tones, and his insights into all things watches are more valuable to me than almost any other journo. Sits very comfortably on my most listened to watch podcasts along with Hairspring Watches and That Watch Podcast. Great stuff.
