This podcast, not unlike the AICPA in recent years, is starting to sound more like a leftist Ted talk and less like a useful podcast for actual practicing CPAs

Informative but awkward
It makes you wonder if accountants trying to sound natural and interesting is the most awkward thing in the world.
There’s just a ton of people who are clearly reading from a script. It’s painful.

Poor audio production; decent content
The audio production, editing and mic quality reminds me of podcasts from 5-6 years back. Ultimately the knowledge is good but the two hosts are not very smooth, guests are generally jumbled and the theme tune is weird. I listen to it for the content but it’s painful. I think the AICPA could allocate more of its $400 a year dues to bring in a professional producer.
