  • Why the music?😫

    Content promising, but he’s chosen to have this annoying music on a loop behind his voice for the entire episode. Music as an intro is OK but it needs to fade out or it’s just going to drive the listener insane like they’re being tortured at Guantanamo Bay.

  • Boring

    The first episode I listened to the person talked like someone in high school. Dry content. Much better podcasts out there.

  • Has potential…but not quite there

    This podcast has potential but it needs some work. First, I appreciate the angle of “here’s how to do this scam legally!” However, the script is redundant… in the lottery episode I heard the same line numerous times… it felt like he needed to fill time by repeating the same thing..? So my suggestion, is work on the script. The audio could use some work - especially if nine episodes in you are already telling the audience that they will soon have to pay for the content (umm… wait what? Nine episo... more
