  • Let the speakers talk …

    The host is too talkative, too argumentative, and is much less thoughtful and insightful than he thinks. He presupposes and theorizes to constant dead ends.

  • Let the guests speak.

    Great content but I feel the interviewer interjects too much and talks over the guest. Especially the Rowing Blazers episode.

  • THE industry expert

    Tim Mosso may know all the watch references but no one understands the watch industry like Ariel - and shares it! I appreciate his open mind and sharp new takes which he shares in written and audio form. Superlative is a deep dive for industry members and watch fans alike. If you are either, it’s a must listen. Thanks for all you do Ariel!

Mr. Adams who seems like a very nice and knowledgeable person is guilty of this so often that I cannot get past it.

    Do your listeners a favor and posit an interesting, non self centric questi... more
