Good Subject Matter, Hosting Frustrating
Listened to the episode re: family offices and was completely distracted by James speaking over the guest repeatedly and coughing / clearing his throat constantly.
Very interesting subject matter but made for really hard listening.
Great podcast, disagree with gambling ads
Love the podcast and information shared, and am an ongoing listener however the latest addition of gambling ads I find offensive and if they continue will stop listening.
