I haven't listened to this episode specifically, but I have listened to probably 20 of their other ones. It's a solid podcast, although I wish they were a little more critical and not always so laudatory.

I got into Acquired through the Jim Simons episode which was great but the rest of their content is hit and miss.

Sometimes they get hard to listen to because they treat every company as something incredible and many of them aren't - the luxury brands episodes are completely bizarre, no idea who the target audience is for a four podcast on a handbag manufacturer.

And their SBF episode didn't age well at all - so much ass kissing. Credit to them at least for not removing it entirely.

I really enjoy the luxury brand episodes. Hermes, LV, etc. are huge companies that have been around for a long, long time.
