Yes, this is Jillian.

Great show. But-

I love listening to this podcast. Such great ideas and insight. But please stop talking over Jackie (sorry if I spelled that wrong). Both hosts have great things to say but sometimes she gets cut off without finishing a thought and I find that a little irritating. If there’s more detail and not enough time, im sure I speak for some of us on not minding links in the show notes as well as further commentary. I just don’t like hearing constant interruptions. I do appreciate you taking the time and discussing these ideas with us.

Always worth the listening time

From the perspective of an investor in the Western Canadian oil & gas sector I’ve found Peter and Jackie’s analysis / interviews relevant, interesting, and well put together...thank you from a loyal listener and reader.
