An interesting podcast, but let down by poor sound balance.
It sounded as though just one microphone was used, and David was sitting closest!
As a regular listener, this is a reoccurring issue, where the guests cannot be clearly heard, especially if hearing isn't 100% (like mine!).

I missed a lot of what was said for the same reason.
Buy another mic David!!

..... or better still, get another studio, which we are in the process of doing! Just cut me some slack guys, please - we are doing the best we can with what we have to work with.

Last week's show was hijacked by a phantom from the opera and this week's podcast was cursed by an over-zealous hot air blower. I'm just waiting for a tornedo to tear through the studio next. John Humphries doesn't have to put up with this on his Radio 4 Today programme - so why should I? :-)

I won't bore you with the details but it really won't be long now before we move into our new home. I almost feel a Peter, Paul and Mary song coming on......All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go....

Best regards and once again my abject apologies.

About the presenter

David Kuo is The Motley Fool’s media personality. He can be heard on BBC London’s (94.9FM) Breakfast Show where he arouses listeners every weekday morning with his unique brand of financial news. He is also a regular commentator on national news programmes including CNBC, BBC News, and Sky News.

David stumbled into the world of broadcasting at the turn of the Millennium when he was invited to comment on the stock market crash. He says, “I think I stunned Londoners speechless when I said the good thing about the crash is that shares are now more affordable for people who want to invest in the stock market!”

His attitude to investing has never wavered, as he always sees downturns in the market as a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
