  • Refreshing and Objective Analysis

    In an era of constant 'hot takes' and manufactured excitement, Wes is a breath of fresh air. It’s rare to find a creator who doesn't get swept up in the immediate hype cycle. He consistently provides a balanced view, backed by solid analysis rather than just following the trend of the week. A great balanced weekly must listen for me!

  • Love the podcast

    I really enjoy the podcast and listen to every episode. I think Wes and William are an excellent balance. I love that you do "controversy corner" as it shows you're real people with opinions and views whether I agree or not ( mostly I do!). And your insights and views are always thought-provoking and welcome. Thanks for entertaining and educating me every week!
