  • Best Spearfishing Show

    Brett does a fantastic job hosting the show. The guests are mostly people I’ve never heard of but almost always bring new insight to my spearfishing tactics. This is my go-to suggestion for anyone looking to scratch the spearo itch especially during the off season. Would love to hear Daryl Wong on the show btw.

  • Sound volume

    Great podcast but when I play my podcast on my iPhone normally the sound volume is fine. But I had to put your show on Max volume and the volume still seemed to be low. Wondering if this is something you can improve through your output? Thanks for your attention to this matter.

    Cheers from Canada

  • Everyone loves Brett

    Genuine and humble guy that’s come a long way since his first podcast! Just spent 18 hrs on a plane listening to his recent podcasts and I’m impressed. Entertaining and educational (my fav part). Only complaint is I planned on getting some sleep on my flight but Brett kept me too engaged! Maybe I’ll dig up one of his first podcasts for the flight home🤣
