Packs a punch!

The engaging hosting style of Hugh, quality of the guests he has on, and the strategies and tactics that are covered in such a short amount of time, all make Dry Powder a true standout. Not everyone has 30-60 minutes but everyone can find 10-20 and I promise you won't regret spending that time here. Thanks so much for putting out such a valuable resource, Hugh - keep up the great work!

Great content, terrible sound

Please get Hugh a high-quality microphone and hire a sound editor.
