It’s Not Different This Time

The Irrelevant Investor

I’m All in On Audio

The Irrelevant Investor

I wasn't an early podcast adopter. I don't mean that I was late to start one (2017), I was late to listen. My first experience with this new technology was the hit sensation, Serial, which really put podcasts on the map in 2014. From there I discovered Bill Simmons, Tim Ferriss, Dan Carlin, and others.
