Be nice to know how SiriusXM subscribers
can listen to the SEC on SiriusXM
Chris Childers is a mistake. He is childish and has a nasty mouth. Braden Gall is much more professional, more knowledgeable and a better choice. I have listed to Chris as he has worked his way up. He does a great job interviewing people.
