Good but not the best.

I’ve follow this podcast for a few years. I even followed it during deployments overseas. I used to recommend this podcast to other supply officers as well. It’s a very good podcast but it’s not the best. The best supply chain management and logistics podcast I’ve ever heard comes from Cranfield university in England. Indeed, one of the interviews on this podcast is with Professor wilding of Cranfield. The questions asked of the guests are very good questions, but if they were to be outstanding questions they would somehow lead the conversation to demonstrate key supply chain management and logistics principles in such a way that the audience learns them in a Socratic way. This, is partly accomplished, but it could be done better. The sound quality of the guest is usually not bad, but the host consistently sounds like he’s in a room surrounded by tiles. Lastly, one of the reasons why I followed the author of this podcast, was that he was very professional and completely apolitical . However, the author recently changed this on LinkedIn regarding a supposed leadership issue which he took out of context. Lastly, there is not much variance between one interview and another, so I begin to feel that I am listening to an hour and 15 minutes of the same thing. For these reasons, I am not giving this podcast five stars.

I love the podcast and it’s content . The sound quality needs to be improved however - it’s highly inconsistent.

Always fun and interesting

Radu does an amazing job of keeping conversations upbeat, interesting, and educational and has some of the best guests around. I always love to hear about the latest innovations by Asia’s logistics companies and shippers.

Nice work

Good insight to the industry worldwide and what companies are looking for in their people. The audio is choppy sometimes, but clear. Thanks!
