  • Good information when they get to it

    They have good information but I feel like the first half I’m just listening to them promote and do advertisements. It takes awhile to actually get into what the podcast is about

  • Not bad

    It's not a bad podcast and it's quite informative/helpful but it could easily be boiled down to half. I feel there's a lot of fluff we could do without. I just want the presenters to get to the point so I can actually get to the end of the podcast and feel I got something out of it.
