- Meh
The conversation is interesting-ish, but there are a lot of adds. Two ad breaks in 30 minutes is fine if it’s an add at the start and end of a short podcast episode, but the adds break up the conversation in annoying ways and are way too frequent.

CGPGrey has always left his listeners and followers in the dark. He just doesn't care, trust me i followed him for more than 10 years and this guy is extremely self centered

How many “workflow” shows does this podcast network need? Face, it, the show is over. Myke can’t carry an original show by himself.

Apple Podcasts5Gw32466United States7 months ago - Terrible compared to the early episodes
Awful since Grey stepped back from the podcast. Limping along without a clear sense of purpose simply in order to exist. Myke didn’t seem to realise that Grey was the interesting one. A real shame.
