I highly recommend listening to the podcasts as its a great way to learn while at the gym, driving to work, etc.

If you know it better than anyone else, sooner or later, you'll capture a great one because of your insider knowledge.

That is sort the same as saying they will foreclose you out sooner or later when it suits their needs.  

I'm very glad you enjoy the podcasts as it also my favorite way to learn while at the gym or on the road.
