I reconnected with [colleagues]( I hadnât seen in person for more than a year--and met [new ones]( whoâd come aboard during the pandemic. I taped [videos]( in our Chicago studio rather than from my [home office](. And I soaked in the architecture of downtown Chicago again--especially the stunning Board of Trade building capping off LaSalle Street. I enjoyed something else that Iâd been missing over the past 15 months: podcasts. Like many, I usually listen to podcasts on my long commute into the office. But not commuting led to a significant falloff in my podcast consumption over the past year. What did I listen to during my first trip back into the office? Fittingly, a recent episode of one of Morningstarâs podcasts: [The Long View]( featuring The Wall Street Journalâs [Jason Zweig](. Iâve always been a fan of Jasonâs--and of the consistently thoughtful lines of questioning from hosts [Christine Benz]( and [Jeff Ptak]( too. Jasonâs insights into the rejection of expertise, what role temperament plays in investing, and the future of financial advice were illuminating. (If youâre not a podcast fan, no worries--we provide transcripts of The Long View podcasts, too.) Whether youâre commuting again or simply enjoying the dog days of summer, now may be the ideal time to binge-listen to episodes youâve missed of podcasts you enjoy--recent guests on The Long View podcast that you mightâve missed include [former Vanguard CEO Jack Brennan]( [fixed-income guru Sonal Desai]( and [Social Security expert Mike Piper](. You can scan all past episodes in [The Long View archive](. Looking to add a new podcast or two to your library?
