Great information

I really like the format of the show and how questions are thoroughly answered. I’ve listened to at least two dozen of the podcasts, picking out a variety of topics. This is great information for me, heading into my retirement years. I intend on listening to all of the past podcasts and not missing any of the upcoming ones.
