  • Not for me

    I like the content. Like the guests. I find the host to be almost unlistenable. Interjects and interrupts. He’s smug and seems arrogant.

  • Too many ads.

    The amount of ads is a bit extreme. Just found the podcast and played the first episode. First 6 mins were commercials and after 30 minutes there have been and additional for 3 lengthy ad segments. If you want to keep fast forwarding every few minutes, maybe it’ll be worthwhile for you.

  • Full of Adverts.

    I tried the latest podcast but gave up after about 15 minutes because there seemed to be more adverts than content. A shame because the content sounded as if it might get interesting but the interviewee was interrupted by ads so often that there was no flow.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maximize Your Golf Lesson with Nick Dimengo
Q: What are the two things you would leave an average golfer with in terms of what they can do to improve their game?
DiMengo advises golfers to trust a structured process rather than expect instant results from tips, and to practice shots from 100 yards in to tighten misses and save strokes.
Maximize Your Golf Lesson with Nick Dimengo
Q: What separates a really good instructor from somebody who just really gets the swing?
DiMengo says strong instructors communicate clearly, listen closely, adapt to a golfer's ability and physical limits, and create a plan suited to the golfer's individual goals.
The Secret Swing from Down Under with Jason Laws
Q: What are two or three things an amateur golfer can take away from watching Peter Thomson?
Laws recommends focusing on Thomson's posture, natural movement, and balanced finish. He says those fundamentals help the body and arms work in sequence without overemphasizing mechanics.
The Secret Swing from Down Under with Jason Laws
Q: What made Peter Thomson's swing great?
Laws points to Thomson's setup and distinctive right-hand grip, which worked with his body movement and open impact position. His dynamic tempo and coordinated body and arm sequence made the swing look natural rather than forced.
A Unique 18 Hole Golf Course in Three 6-Hole Loops...in Thailand! | Mulligans
Q: Could you share any stories of something that you witnessed about someone coming back to try to exercise their own demons and what you witnessed?
Siegel describes visitors who return to Vietnam looking for friends or relatives they lost contact with during evacuations. In some cases, tour operators help locate people using old names, addresses or photographs, though many of the original places no longer exist.
