I figured I would offer my comments (and compliments!) on this thread, as you're at least somewhat likely to see them here, Joshua!
I am largely REALLY enjoying your podcasts -- I don't listen to all of them, but most, and I enjoy the amount of content as I tend to listen to podcasts when I walk (which is at least 40 mins every day), plus when I go running (currently about 3 hours a week), so it was great to get an influx of your podcasts into the pipeline. I too actually used to listen to Dave Ramsey (like you) and ended up eventually not being able to stomach it due to big concerns about how much he simplified in his answers, and his frankly hugely irresponsible comments about investments (which echoes some of your feelings). I also just was absolutely disgusted in how invested he was in his daughter's sex lives & virginity (without the same towards his son, of course). I'm very liberal and so some of DR's statements I vehemently disagreed with. I definitely don't agree with all of yours, but your approach is so refreshing and your attitude is so much one of curiosity and intellectual pursuit, that I often really enjoy the differences in our persepectives. Sometimes it's a bit much for me ... (I wrote about this in more detail, but then decided not to post it as I'm not sure it would be appreciated/helpful).
Anyway, mainly I want to give you kudos for your openness and intelligence and out of the box thinking, and I so appreciate being able to learn from your vast store of knowledge. I think you understand your target audience well and you deliver wide-ranging content that I'm so, so impressed by and thankful for! (Though I do think that people who aren't finance nerds are not going to be into the show as it currently is .... quite lengthy and a bit redundant. My husband thought it was super boring, but he's the one missing out.)
One comment on the sound quality -- some of your interviews have *really* bad sound when they're over skype. I couldn't listen to the Go Curry Cracker interview because it was so horrid. Not sure if there's anything you can do about that, but unfortunately it's going to stop some people (like me) from hearing some of the interviews.
Thanks for your work, love the podcast!
