  • My favourite podcast by far!

    I’ve struggled with Amazon PPC for years, with over 400 SKU’s I find it all a bit overwhelming and suffer big time from “data paralysis”! Listening to the Badger Den has helped me learn so much in my understanding of the beast that is Amazon PPC. Michael’s data driven approach appeals to the spreadsheet nerd in me and I’d highly recommend anyone who’s serious about advertising on Amazon to listen to each and every episode.
