'I found the interview valuable. It gave me a good overview of Todd Combs's work history. He has a long history working with and around excellent investors and businessmen. That he succeeded in many different situations is impressive. It's clear Buffett respects his work at Berkshire.'

Agree. I feel as though hearing these podcasts makes Todd more real. He seems like the type of guy you could enjoy dinner and drinks and nerd out talking investing and business, but he's also a Renaissance man. I think his unique professional journey, gifted rational mind, honest/ethical nature & incredible work ethic will serve us/Berkshire well when he manages enormous assets.

Buffett and Munger are not easily impressed- if they are huge fans of Todd (and Ted) and these two pass Their screen over a decade, that is good enough for me! We will be in wise and experienced hands imo. T&T seem to be able to 'be themselves' and are not 'yes men' but respect WEB & CTM & the established culture within BRK.
