Compare Two Podcast Shows on the Same Topic

Two shows cover the thing you care about and you do not have time for both. This puts them head to head on production, depth versus accessibility, host credibility, assumed knowledge and the value of the back catalogue. You get a clear call on which deserves your regular hours and which to dip into when the other runs dry.
