  • Waste of time

    Just wasted 7 minutes of my life listening to a podcast which is just a sales pitch for the book. Nothing else.

  • Just a constant sales pitch

    I was recommended this podcast by a colleague, and had high hopes for it as it’s the kind of podcast I really enjoy. However, after listening to 4 or 5 episodes (particularly the latest ones) sadly 90% of each episode seems to be a sales pitch for his book, which isn’t even available in the UK.
