  • Angelo - vocal fry

    Content is decent. Intro music is terrible. Angelo is doing a great job, but you gotta lose the vocal fry. It’s unlistenable

  • Good Podcast

    Good podcast, but is way way wayyyy too long to digest the information, and are released too infrequently. Would be better to split them into 10-20 minute segments and release the shorter podcasts weekly. My attention span can’t handle an hour of technical discussion at this moment in time.
