This episode is a first for a very sad reason…. Itis our first normal podcast without our great friend Colin. We hope we will do his memory justice. Today we are going to look at Global GovernmentDebt and explain how that affects all of us in our daily lives. Before you tune out if you are an investor, mortgage repayer, retiree on private or state pension this subject matters to you.QOD is on Conference Season kicking off with Reform and some lighter moments including Nadine Dorris and Lizz Truss

In this shortened episode, Declan and Walker talk about their friend and fellow podcaster Colin who passed away recently. They re-live and re-tell some of the stories and experiences they had with Colin and hopefully capture some of the personality of a highly respected and loved man.
