  • Meh...

    Host speaks as though he only cares about getting through his checklist of topics. Guest was great, but I'm not sure if the content outweighs the periodic cringe-worthy moments.

  • Host is annoying but the guests are great

    Not the best produced podcast (e.g., listened to an episode which included audio of the host blowing his nose while the guest was talking), but the guests are always insightful. I appreciate the content and topics but think the host is just so annoying. He talks over people, repeats himself, and makes not-very-funny jokes. I've nearly unsubscribed because of how annoying I find him, but I've stayed with it because I can't find a podcast with good topics and hosts like these!
