  • Current and relevant info

    The Accounting Podcast has provided one more path to earn CPE while staying caught up on current events. With so much going on in the financial and political world at the moment, I have appreciated the thoughtful discussion. It helps me digest the issues and in turn keep my clients better informed.

  • Awkward and hard on the ears

    After how many years of this, how is Blake still incapable of speaking in the manner of a stuttering steamroller? He insists on steamrolling over whoever the other speaker is, and in the most stumbling way possible. Impossible to listen to without feeling deeply uncomfortable. Would much rather read a transcript. Breathe, Blake. Wait your turn. Sound out your words first in your mind.

  • Too Inexperienced for this Platform

    The hosts are pretty naive in a great many aspects of government and technology. It reeks of tech-bro bravado. I think the hosts are a bit too inexperienced for this platform. A couple years at a Big Four isn’t the amount of experience you think it is.

  • Thank you

    I found your podcast through your Earmark app which I love! So thankful to be able to earn CPE so easily while driving and on walks. I was never good at staying up to date with current events related to accounting and I love that you guys make it so easy to do so and it’s not just technical GAAP and IRS updates.
