  • Info-tainment. Heavy on the “taint”.

    It seems like the hosts of the show have enough gig work experience that they could share information or tips that would help new to moderately experienced gig workers. But it feels as though they consciously choose not to. Instead, you just get a bunch of surface layer, warehouse style water cooler talk. Nothing really funny or entertaining. It sounds like the hosts don’t enjoy doing the podcast or that it’s a chore. Also, the majority of the stories or information has been in circulation for s... more

  • The average Rideshare trip.

    Hi driver, what’s my name? Ok can you take me and my 8 friends in your Honda Fit? Thanks, we just came from the Soup and Coffee convention with a bunch of tasty souvenirs. All windows down, we’re all chain-smokers. We’ll be having 3 different conversations and we’ll all shriek when we pass a Taco Bell, demanding that you go through the drive thru because we paid for the trip so we basically own you. Ooh just a quick stop at the liquor store cuz it’s only like a mile out of the way from my house,... more

  • Too US centric and very narrow

    The podcast is generally okay. It is however very parochial in its overall approach. The show hosts are ostensibly very US centric, with scant understanding of how the gig economy operates beyond America. Keeping political debate out is part of the problem as well. Not too well informing!!
