Apple Podcasts5Industry nerdUnited States2 years ago - Big improvement
Changing the format in summer 2024 helped a lot. It’s easier to follow and more informative now with Sam Oches and Alicia Kelso hosting regularly. Good interviews and industry news.
Apple Podcasts5DATA_MISSINGUnited States2 years ago - Get to the point already.
The Headline for the episode was "Consumer's interest in value, pricing"
Fully 9 (!) minutes into the show, the hosts finish blathering on about everything else under the sun. I appreciate the info, but lack of focus is tiresome.
Apple Podcasts2BodenhamersUnited States2 years ago - Terrible Audio
First time listening to this show. Mid March 2024. Topic I was excited to hear about, DEI in restaurants, unfortunately the audio levels for everyone were off. Incl the host whose levels seemed really high (which made her giggling unlistenable as well as the very loud sounds from her neighborhood). And those of us listening in my car couldn’t hear the guests w/o turning volume all the way up and then the hostess would be too loud. All around terrible audio experience.
