Reviews

3.8 out of 5 stars from 10 ratings
  • Good if you want to listen to 20 minute commercials

    Control global has some good content on its website, but this podcast feels very forced, generic, and dumbed down. There’s no personality to it, and no intimacy. It’s pretty much just a forum for companies to spew out their latest pitch to anyone who might be listening.
