Jim is my single favorite financial journalist in written form but for some reason it sounds like he is talking in a paper bag on this podcast

Content excellent. Audio - impossible to listen to in a car. TOO MUCH BASS. I'm going to be buzz-vibrating my windows if I listen to it loud enough to hear what they are saying over all the bass.

Jingoism is alive and well. Boomer gonna boom

The content is fantastic. Could Jim be persuaded to move a bit closer to the microphone, please?

Loved his publication and love this show. Wish the sound quality was a little better. Doing great Jim and co. Best in the biz and so smart. You’ve been wrong about a lot since 2000 but hey- no one is perfect, and your reasoning is always sound. Truly enjoyable and intelligent set of discussions .

Great great content Lousy sound quality

Not sure what’s better the financial information or the high level, erudite conversation. Old school and highly intelligent.

Jim and Evan are finance’s Batman and Robin. They give away so many sound investment ideas on this podcast — for free!! — that it made me rich enough to subscribe to their even better print publication, Grant’s Interest Rate Observer. I can’t explain it, except to say that Grantland addicting.

Grant’s insists of the market and macro economics are thought provoking and logical. The problem is his microphone is horrible. With as much intelligence he uses to produce the content it is surprising that he and his producers put so little effort into making it intelligible. Grant’s baritone economic articulations are a must listen but you must listen closely to get past his lack of production quality. His guests come in 5 by 5 so at the very least you will hear half the show. PLEASE Grant get a better mic and learn to modulate it. I truly enjoy your content and this review’s only hope is to improve your listener’s experience. I can’t wait to make it 5 stars.

The show is unlistenable most of the time. For having a guy who's on 'the dials', it's embrassing the show is released in the condition it's usually in. Fire or have him step-up. FIX YOUR AUDIO!

Great podcast, but almost unlistenable because the sound is so bad. A competent sound man could eliminate the hissing esses, tunnel sound etc. maybe even just good headsets would do the trick. But do something!

Sounds like in a tunnel

The pod father could really help you with your mic/podcasting set-up. Very informative but we gotta get this guy a new microphone. Great content!!

I love this show. Jim Grant’s wit and knowledge are unparalleled. The guests are very informative. However, Jim’s audio/microphone needs some work. He sounds like he is in a deep well, sometimes hard to decipher what he is saying.

A+

Please never stop creating content, I enjoy every episode!

It used to have great content when it was on a studio. When they are remote impossible to hear.

Content is excellent but it sounds like Grant’s voice is being carried through two or three walkie-talkies before it hits the recording software.

Good content, great gas, nice avuncular tone. Only problem is the terrible audio, which would take about $600 to fix. Better mics and some mixing. Plenty of cheap freelancers who could do it. Makes a huge difference.

I look forward to every podcast! Audio is not always perfect-(nothing a quick run to B&H by Evan or Philip couldn’t solve) but the content is rich and little pearls of wisdom seem to roll out on a frequent basis. Of course, nothing beats being a paid up subscriber to Grant’s Interest Rate Observer Newsletter. This podcast supplements the newsletter very well or as a stand-alone product for the latest thinking of Jim Grant and his guests.

I think Jim and Evan are highly intelligent but Jim wastes a lot of time interrupting with sarcastic remarks. But, then again, it’s his show. I’ll keep listening

Stunning conversations. Grant’s is timeless.

Jim Grant is a legend commentary and he is genuinely funny and modest. I just wish he would upgrade his microphone, the quality is consistently poor.

As always, Jim is engaging and gets to the point. The audio, however, sounds like it is being broadcast from the moon by short wave radio. Ouch!

If the audio quality was of the same ilk as the content, five stars. Guys a single upgrade to VOIP instead of cell phones would do wonders.

Jim Grant is the source of countless thoughtful investment ideas. He helps his followers navigate the world in a thoughtful, poetic, and ultimately very successful way. Easily the greatest discovery I’ve made After a quarter of a century on Wall Street.

One of the few podcasts that will ask guests hard questions and it’s a lot of fun to listen. A breath of fresh air in the glut of podcasts that are just corporate propaganda. At the same time, it is too critical of central banks and not self-critical enough. A gadfly- but deserves five stars!

Grant rambles a lot therefore wasting your time. The guy from Green Street just recommended a stock his firm is selling if you look at their 13f. Basic research would have caught that and he should have been called out on it. Typical Wall Street behavior

Really good content but the audio needs to be fixed. It’s easy to do.

I’m a CPA and a reasonably informed investor. It’s nice to find a podcast that can expose me to so much additional knowledge.

Jim is exceedingly intelligent and I love Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, but this podcast sounds like it was recorded with a 1990’s Nokia cellphone. Upgrade recording equipment!

Thoughtful, incisive, and in depth but not for the shallow minded looking for the “skinny” on the important topics affecting today’s investor. This is a serious podcast confronting key issues through lengthy interviews with top economic and investment experts. The interview with Jim Bianco was a classic.

I always enjoy your conversations with guests of diverse perspectives and opinions, and I get the feeling you enjoy them too. Sometimes I’m a bit lost when you guys go technical, but that’s another reason I listen: hit replay and learn. I search for your YouTube interviews and talks as well! I will be signing up for Grant’s Interest Rate Observer and hope to profit further from your unique information and insights.

Yooo I can’t even listen to this crappy audio quality.

Short, dry, and poignant. Grant’s Interest Rate Observer is one of the longest standing publications in the investing space, and this podcasts hits on some of the key bond topics each week. Jim’s deadpan delivery of the short commercials are another source of entertainment.

Jim and the crew are great educators, while being entertaining. I look forward to more wonderful, financial banter.

I have had a long career in financial services and only recently embraced podcasts as an information source. Out of the hundreds of podcasts I have auditioned, this is one of the best 2 or 3. I am a devoted listener. Excellent podcast. I enjoy the occasional subtle humor. The market perspective is 2nd to none.

Join and the crew have great guests on and highlight all the deformations, oddities, and going on in the world of interest bearing securities. They are definitely insiders but stare up at the belly of the Wall Street best and marvel at how crazy the works of finance has become. I love the foxtrot intro and outro music that probably harkens back to an era of New York that is likely long gone. Witty commentary that speaks from deep historical knowledge without being preachy our unreachable. Great stuff.

Cant hear. Okay i changed my rating to 5 stars. Anything to get you guys to podcast regularly.

Content is great! Audio quality is terrible. Makes it really hard to listen

I appreciate you making this free, thank you, but your audio is absolutely terrible. I will send you a better microphone for free if you will use it. It makes a world of a difference.

The inimitable and witty Mr. Grant, strongly opining on the world of finance and especially credit markets, puncturing the silly and dangerous absurdities of the era that we're living through. Almost forty years of wisdom from Grant's Interest Rate Observer distilled in easy-to-consume form. (Sometimes Grant is a little too strong in expressing his views, and the sound quality does leave something to be desired at times. It has improved of late.)

I’ve been trying to listen for two years. He just interrupts too much. I am coming back to this review a second time and now I am unsubscribing. I can’t take the interrupting any more. I will have to stick to his written and edited word. I feel bad for Evan and the guests that he interrupts.

It’s alright, but there are some lackluster guests and some groupthink about gold. Unfortunately things like calling “sunspots theory” a contrarian idea is just🤦🏼‍♀️

Fantastic podcast that is filled with great insight. I only hope they can fix their audio as I told someone about their podcast and that was their first complaint. They even told me they would go back to the podcast once they fix the quality.

Poor sound quality outweighs quality of content.

I really enjoy these. They’re interesting and informative. Jim’s great and Eric asks great questions! Nice job guys

Tried to listen to the repo podcast and had to turn it off after the creator incessantly interrupted the guest. What’s the point of having a guest if you’re simply going to interrupt to flex your knowledge?

Mr. Grant, though no question a supremely talented writer, seems to have been born to do podcasts. Everything from the opening jazz track, to his incredibly thoughtful and articulate commentary, is very well done. His insights into the credit markets, and ability to translate his guests’ technical jargon into “layspeech,” makes this podcast a no-brainer for professionals and non-professionals alike. One request for Mr. Grant: it would be much appreciated if you would offer a special promotion/discount to your Grant’s Interest Rate Observer periodical to podcast listeners!

You can almost hear in his voice the exasperation at our current times, and almost hear echoes of Keynes chuckling at how markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Grant is a voice of reason in insane times, and he has a very smart crew with him.
