The Hobson & Holtz Report
The H&H Report (also known as ‘For Immediate Release’) is the industry-leading, ‘must listen to’ podcast published twice a week by Shel Holtz in California and Neville Hobson in Amsterdam.
I am fortunate to be allowed to contribute a weekly report, usually for the Thursday show, and you can always pick up a copy of my short report here, in case you didn’t have a chance to listen to the full ‘FIR’ show.
