  • Oddly amateurish

    Is this a professional podcast or something produced out of a guy’s basement? The host sounds like a guy doing his homework on the bus. Very strange to have a podcast produced by a B2B website yet the podcast feels so amateurish.

  • Good content. Quality is infuriating.

    Discovered this podcast a few weeks ago. The first episode I listened to had phone/email notifications and mouse clicking in the background throughout the entire interview.

    I figured it was the guests so I gave it a pass. Then next two I listened to had the same thing. Making me realize it’s the hosts mic picking up his own constant mouse clicks and notifications.

    Content is great but most episodes are almost unlistenable due to the lack of editing.
