Add YoursHello Nick, I always learn something from you during your podcasts ( and by reading your excellent articles) but unfortunately the conversation with Fred Dust was a waste of time . He is not articulate ( says « like « about 1000 times) and demonstrated his complete ineptitude in having a conversation. He doesn’t even listen and the conversation is all about him.
Of course that is not your fault and despite of which, poor guest speakers make you look good ! Best of luck in finding the articulate and talented for your future podcasts.
