  • Maybe keep it focused on OUTSIDE topics?

    Tired of the politics and not sure how this last episode about emojis seriously got released. How embarrassing. The host is also terrible. Hard not to cringe at at least one of his comments every episode.

  • It’s “to wit” not “to whit”

    Welp, spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to give this feedback in a less obnoxious way, but I couldn’t find one. PROOF YOUR COPY. It’s sad that the magazine that launched Jon Krakauer into the mainstream is making dumb mistakes like this. Do you all want to speak from a position of trusted authority or not? Sheesh.

  • The podcast was great before Paddy O took over. Now it's the host making huge reactions more than listening to his guest. I can't take more of his laughing hysterically just to be the most important person in the room. Then he said two women's greatest accomplishments were giving birth when they were Ironman champions and finishing 100 mile races. Take your misogyny somewhere else.

  • Distracting background music

    Background music in recent episodes makes them nearly impossible to listen to. Used to love this show, but there are now many with higher quality editing in the same genre.

  • Studio Sound

    It would be great if the studio would adjust microphones so you better hear the guests. Constantly having to futz around with adjustments on my end is annoying. Otherwise a great podcast

Challenge yourself; get out of that comfort zone. It leads to purpose in life and prevents depression.
