Love the podcast but it hasn’t worked for months. Penguin please fix this
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.

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.

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
