Customer Reviews
Great podcast
It’s wonky enough without being pretentious.
Great analysis
Great analysis of the strike but my advice would not to be intimidated to call people out on vagaries and inconsistencies. You wouldn’t lose neutrality, it just would make for a richer podcast. I was very disappointed in Marc Ferandino’s superficial discussion of the problem.
