Excellent Listen

The thing I respect the most about Nate is his prep. He is the most prepared host and announcer in the game. He does his homework and it shows through thoughtful and insightful questions that relax the guest and dig deep to the heart of the subject. Highly recommend this podcast if only for, as Nate puts it, food for thought. Keep up the great work!
