  • Way too expensive!!!!!

    The “free” episodes are essentially ads pushing listeners to a $49/month paywall outside of Apple Podcasts. This is government contracting content — most listeners are government

    Employees, not corporate CEOs.

    I could understand $50 per year, but this same type of content used to be included with an Apple Podcasts subscription. Charging $49 a month feels excessive and out of touch.

    This comes across as corporate greed and is extremely disappointing. I’ll be removing this podcast from my libra... more

  • As a CO - the price is not fair and reasonable

    When I got my warrant I started listening to this podcast. Great content. However, $50 a month is an absolutely absurd amount of money for this podcast. We are government employees not CEOs

  • What the what? Why are we being charged now?

    This was a great podcast and had a tremendous amount of wonderful information and insight for both news and experienced contracting officers. Now that the host changed we’re being charged?!? It makes no sense and it pains me that they did this.

  • Used to be good

    This used to be good, but now they’ve pulled off almost all their content and moved it to their own website for $50 A MONTH for access. That’s an outrageous price.
