Great podcast! In depth and informative. But sounds like it’s recorded inside of an empty grain silo.
This is a decent wrestling podcast. But I can’t stop cringing at the fact this guy thinks everything he says is so profound. It’s cool to have an opinion that you are passionate about. But come on guy. We as an audience are not waiting with bated breath for your takes. You act like you’re gifting us with your wisdom.
Mike Mal does a great job with the interviews and gets great guests. Highly recommend
Great pod, but can you work on the audio quality?
Mike - you have a good product. But from a personal perspective - I don’t really care about what you do, who you know, what your experiences are, what your son is dealing with. And I say that from a selfish standpoint.
I want to listen to your guests! They’re experience - and learn from them. I get 60 minutes to gain as much as I can from your guests and listen to every one of them.
