Audible5Colin ThompsonUnited States3 months ago - Love it!
Absolutely brilliant and refreshing. Keen is hilarious. But truthfully, if he ditched the chip on his shoulder he’d likely influence more thought leaders because he’s right about almost everything. Highly recommend, we’re hooked!

They come on this show and they don’t have a real plan and it shows. I love keen’s books, but this podcast is terrible. Very unfortunate because keen is brilliant.
Apple Podcasts1HknvcUnited States8 months ago - They confuse each other… and listeners
I wanted to love this pod, but they just talk over and past each other and often seem to confuse one another (and even their guests). I like some of the ideas, I wish they could structure their discussions better (and avoid plugs for their products/ models).
