Echo all the sentiments previously expressed in this thread.

There aren't many Podcasts focused on the shallow end of the ASX (happy to get recommendations to fill the hole left behind by Baby Giants!), so this one will be greatly missed.

From what I heard on the finale, you have decided to end it because of conflicting priorities and time constraints. Selfishly, would it not be feasible to publish a less frequent Pod, say every month? It would be great to keep it going in some form!

Thank you to @Strawman, Matt and Claude once again.

Baby Giants is my favourite podcast and one that I listen to first when a new episode arrives. Although the audience TAM is small - for the those that are into ASX small and microcaps, it hits the right spot. As the kids would say: The podcast slaps.

I enjoy the chemistry, the competing views, the devil's advocate, the deep dives into business models. It's not just a bunch of bros in a confirmation bias circle jerk.

Well done on the run guys. I'll put an investment book out on the front porch today to commiserate.

Will definitely miss this podcast! It's one of my favourites and I always like hearing Matt, Claude, and Andrews take on things. I've shaken most investing and financial related podcasts - this was one of the few I still listened to.

Thanks Andrew, Claude, and Matt.

I agree it will be missed.

I felt this podcast was unique, particularly in the level of detailed discussion of each business.

I really enjoyed every episode, and always felt they were too short.

Thanks for all the effort - I learned a lot!

Whenever the three of you need to discuss (Vent, wave your fists at the sky) would be cool if they did it on here as an occasion therapy session under the "Meetings" tab.

Wow, thanks all.

It was a lot of fun, but increasingly hard to justify given the time/effort required and the relatively small audience.

Maybe if Spotify had offered us a Joe Rogan type deal.. lol

If I could offer some (gentle) constructive criticism of BB. I listen to a lot of investing podcasts, I mean A LOT. The hosts on BB are well above average. IMHO, the issue is that people want actionable ideas and there was just too much time spent on ancillary "stuff". of course, this leads the what is the main issue, IMO, does MJ, an active manager want to give us his buy/sells? when i was a PM there was no way i would be allowed by the powers that be to do that. a sackable offence. to a lesser extent, there are constraints on CW with a rich life and that leaves SM, who of course has SM. so my conclusion on this one is that, in the extremely competitive field of investing podcasts, and despite the quality of the hosts, inherent conflicts prevented it from becoming what it could have been. anyway, i did enjoy the shows, i could also be completely wrong, just a view. I overanalyse everything!

There was a nice dynamic between the three of you Andrew, each with your own unique perspective but enough common ground to weave the threads together into a matrix.

The wheel of life keeps turning.

That was a major factor @Solvetheriddle -- we either talk our book and risk all many of regulatory and IP challenges, or we talk around the edges. It made things...challenging.

Ahhh dang... I really enjoyed this podcast.


Interestingly, I often enjoyed the tangents - what made me want to listen to it was that it was intereresting and and fun - it was a downtime activity for me.


Thank you for what you have provided to us!

Shame to see the podcast finish! It was a great learning tool, and will be missed.
