  • Off-topic

    This is a very good podcast. Don’t get me wrong. But it kind of feels like they don’t have to be 2 1/2 to 3 hours long.

    No, I personally like hearing them talk I think it’s interesting and I like how long they are but many of the people that I know that also listen get an annoyed is just the information

    It would be cool if they could provide some kind of summary for the people who just want the information

    But I love what you guys are doing and keep it up!

  • Knowledgeable but poor host

    Grant obviously has a lot of experience in the 3DP world, but he is sadly unable to give space to his guests or even his co-host Jacob. He continuously interrupts them, barely remaining on topic, or misunderstanding their point, and then cracks at his own bellowed jokes like Jimmy Fallon. There’s also the incessant begging for money, Patreon and Discord plugs. If you enjoy the content, you’re probably better off watching the live streams.
