Excellent Podcast and Experts but...
I think the host sometimes can be a bit disruptive and try to force his own uninformed opinions during the discussions. I understand that there is limited time and he has to steer the discussion so it doesn’t shift too far away from the main topic and he does ask good questions at times and doesn’t just accept everything the experts are saying if he feels the explanations are not clear. However, I feel that often when there are complex subjects or issues within the discussion instead of saying we don’t have time to discuss this further but do read this or listen to this or we will discuss it another time, he often just force the expert to agree to his one word opinions on it, which is annoying and really bad for a podcast like this.
