  • Less was more

    Erik Tait’s Penguin podcast has been a weekly highlight for the last five years. A thirty minute interview that didn’t ask the same old questions. A midpoint ad would often feature a product with a discount.

    Now it’s 75 to 90 minutes of shilling products and rambling conversations with Nick. Nick seems like a good guy but he never seems prepared. Maybe he thinks it’s cute?

    The few interviews that have been done since the change are still good but not as tight and engaging. In the last six month... more

  • Once great, now not so sure

    This has long been my favorite magician podcast. Focused, tight, and interesting. But the change to a longer format has me listening less often. I think Penguin needs to remember that “always leave them wanting more” is sage advice.

    - Erik Tait as a v knowledgeable host unafraid to ask any question

    - Discount code of a good amount for features Penguin effect

    - Very danceable... more

  • Enjoyable with a couple of warts

    This is a weekly listen for me. Erik is improving as a host, but still has a tendency to interject too much of himself into the interview. I sometimes feel he has a need to show his knowledge and it’s irritating.

    At times the interviewee audio stinks and, frankly, shouldn’t be posted. As an example the recent interview with Magic Balay should have stayed in the can. It sounded like he was yelling at an IPhone across the room. In most cases audio is about attention to detail and, possibly, a sma... more
