I really appreciate how Kara brings her light-hearted approach and infectious laugh to Prof D's seriousness. The scope of what these two cover is worth the listen. Even when the subject is one in which I'm not particularly interested, I BECOME interested as soon as they dive in. The fact that Kara is never deterred, given that Prof D hardly ever acknowledges her contributions (especially if he's on a roll), is to be admired. She brings her vast knowledge of technology, digital media, and Silicon Valley power dynamics to the conversation, as well as an informed take on the stock market, film production, etc., etc.

Being the grandmother of two adolescent boys, I first got interested in Professor Galloway because of his mantra about the systemic failings of young men these days and what they can do about them. I love his data-driven analysis of tech, business, and finance, and actually get a kick out of his nasally monotone when he gets on his soapbox. He takes me back to my graduate school days. The two are a powerhouse team and eminently listenable. I learn so much from each episode and have a chuckle in doing so.

Such a Kick. And the Info is Spot On!

So much fun to listen to!

I'm new to podcasts but have been loving Kara and Scott. During Scott free August I've enjoy the vast majority of guest hosts with only one exception. But hey, nothing's perfect! I regularly listen to audiobooks during breakfast and long drives but I really look forward to this podcast twice a week! I pause the audiobook when a new episode drops. Please keep up the great work and honesty in your podcasts!

Glass very near full!
