  • Lithium rocks!

    Howard and Rodney do an excellent job navigating the technical and financial aspects of Lithium investing. A great, intimate, and transparent conversation between the hosts enhanced by the Lithium industry guests. However, if you want the "musical" version, which is a must, find them on other podcast provider platforms.
