  • Consistently Thought-Provoking and Insightful

    Two years in, and the AOM podcast is still a weekly must-listen! The episodes are consistently engaging and have truly changed how I see the world. Brett does an awesome job—he’s clearly done his homework on every guest and has a relatable style that makes complex topics easy to digest. If you love hearing writers talk about the 'why' behind their books, this is the show for you.

  • Not my Cup of Tea

    I listened to one interview because I liked the guest. Nothing about the show compels me to return.

    There were lots of commercials, frequently interrupting the interview. I found the “manliness” schtick to be kind of kitschy.
