    Much-needed deep dive
    I’ve really enjoyed diving into this show each week and learning more about topics I knew little about. The hosts and guests are top-notch, and the data and insight are so helpful.

    Guests Often Inept
    Excited for the idea of the show, but often gets feeling that the guests truly don’t understand what they’re talking about from a personal opinion rather than trying to regurgitate information from other sources. For example, in the EV batteries episode the two guests had no idea how batteries were made, why they are so difficult to produce, and overall knowledge of global battery manufacturers. The male guest did not know about battery manufacturing in the United States where in Glendale Kentucky and liberty North Carolina there are billions of dollars being invested into American battery manufacturing. I know this because I have physically been to some of these locations. The show also just doesn’t go into any economics about topics either which is a big letdown specially since it’s in the title of the podcast.
