Lauren Rublin the main host does not contribute much to the conversation and should probably retire. Ben Leveson does a great job of compensating for her ineptitude. They generally speaking have good guests and decent topics but I listen in spite of Lauren.
Solid

Boo boo.

As others have said, Lauren is middlin’ but Ben is excellent. He does all of the heavy lifting. He’s candid, owns his missed picks. I really enjoy his content. I wish they did the show more than once a week. I’ve never had the trouble with audio that others have complained about. Perhaps I’m just an old and remember the days of genuinely poor audio.
Who Needs Audio for a Podcast

Retired Brian

I’m one podcast in and don’t think I can listen to any more. The content is ok but the audio is terrible. The host sounds like she is on her phone and not always talking into it. This is the best Barrons could come up with? Please pay for better audio.
Mediocre content. Terrible audio

I might enjoy the content more If the audio wasn’t so terrible. The moderator is too loud and the guests are often inaudible. I was going to give it a little more time but since there are reviews on the poor audio from a year ago, I don’t believe it is a priority for the podcast so I will probably take it off my list.
