In general I am a very positive guy. In the latest podcast (Oct 2025) they both ragged on people who say $400 for their online class is too expensive then went on to talk about how stressful selling their house with a pool is because the realtor can’t figure out how to turn on the pool heater.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a long time and the hosts are interesting and charming in their own ways. They are also talented. They also often have enjoyable guests.

I really wanted to like this podcast. The first episode was 20+ minutes wasted listening to the male speakers continually talk over the one woman on the show. And they aren’t that interesting. Especially the professor with the scratchy voice. He sure likes to hear himself talk. C’mon guys. It’s 2025, almost 2026 and you still haven’t gotten the memo about letting women speak uninterrupted? Lame.
Do better, guys.
I’ve listened for years to this show and I feel like I’m friends with all the hosts. They give great insights into the lives of professional illustrators, as well as answer a lot of questions.
