Joel, stop it with the videos. No one, at least not anyone with things to do, has time for this. Concise, but thorough reporting of events and analysis of issues are valuable. I don't understand the push to video. So many of the people that I follow have decided to publish video blogs that I get 10-12 hours of video a day. It goes right into the delete file.

Albert, I agree. I don't know why everybody keeps pushing videos down our throats. That was one of the BIG reasons I like BPR so much. If I can't find a transcript available, it goes to the dumpster.

Albert, I agree with you. I usually dump videos as well. In addition, I am hard of hearing, so I do like to read articles instead of a full voice interview.

I enjoyed the video, as it gave my eyes a rest and was able to listen on my drive to work this morning. Great topic and delivery!

Joel,

I actually like watching video interviews. For those who find them time consuming learn how to listen at 1.5 or even 2 x normal speed.

Thanks, mate. I aim to please some of the people, some of the time...

I can read the transcript much quicker. Some people get their information visually and some auditorily so I guess choice is the best...

I agree with R Jensen

You hardly gave the guest a chance to participate with your excessive ramblings

Joel, you know that I appreciate your insight and information, to that point, I even disagree with you considering yourself “a failed novelist.” Discounting the fact that I’m merely a fan of one, I have read both Morris & Sable Cloak and recommended Morris for our book club this month. I enjoyed your conversation with your friend, but must agree with the comments above. I split the time over four separate relays due to my own time constraints. It says something, however, that I took the time to watch.

Joel, your interview style is more akin to an attorney "leading the witness." You did all of the talking and left your guest with the only option of agreeing with you but leaving little to add to the conversation. I would have liked to hear him speak more and you less.

Joel and Rob, Thanks for the video. I like seeing the speakers ,there emotions and feelings on the subject. Your meanderings in the conversation helped answer questions I had, especially regarding protests and the feelings towards Pres.Milei after having been in office 5 months. I live in the U.S. and agree its" so entrenched", by the ole boy's and new girl's network that it can only be threatened by a violent revolution, I would prefer more peacefull like yours. Thanks again.

Joel, thank you for this podcast and the news and education you share about Argentina.

Could you please get your glasses tightened, so you are not constantly pushing them up your nose? Just count the times. Your guest did not do that once.

Actually, I make it a habit to listen to videos like this... mostly from you tube. BUT.... I download and convert them to .mp3s so I can listen at the gym or out on a bicycle ride. But I don't see any way to download this video. I'm very interested in hearing it.... but definitely won't be sitting in front of my computer for an hour and 13 minutes to do so. Is there a way to download it?

Thank you for this presentation Joel. It is refreshing to get unvarnished material from sources that are living through it.
