Nice episode. I was excited when I saw the title. I wish you guys had spent time breaking it down in a more topical way, though, such as saying “what are the ways that a financial apocalypse might come about” then discussing each of them in turn. It felt a little meandering.
Additionally, I would have loved to see more polling of participants in a form like “How many of you think X could happen?”
Hope you don’t mind that kind of feedback. I look forward to listening in the future.
