This is great but where are the other podcast Tommy
There are only 2 podcasts that Tommy has or is it under another podcast. Really like his podcast.
Great Podcast
I was lost. Forlorn. Nothing meant anything. Then I found this podcast. Tommy's voice gave meaning to my life. I make all 12 of my cats listen to this podcast with me every night before I blow the citronella candles out. Thank you Tommy.
For real though, this podcast is well researched and super informative. I really appreciate the attention to detail as well as the analysis. I don't understand economics or finance very well I would say, but I feel like I actually understand what an economic bubble is from the Tulipmania episode. Looking forward to hearing more!
