Amicahu ,

Great guests who are giving space to fully provide information.

The podcast not only has extraordinarily informative guests but the interviewers ask the right questions and, most importantly, let the guest fully respond. Like the best interviewers, they let their considered questions do their talking and allow the guest respond without interruption. Topics covered provide a lot of information to try to make sense of the chaos which is the economy and markets.
