  • Content is great

    The horns and buzzers used for filler are very annoying. I would prefer a shorter show than the excruciating horns and buzzers.

  • Show overall is just not good.

    From the cheesy PowerPoint sounds to the non stop talking about nothing I can’t take this show. You get a sliver of info then the rest is just filler. I tried to give it a go multiple times. I don’t know how Malcom and others do this show. I’ll stick to their podcasts. Atleast we get information there.

  • Ridiculous

    How anyone can listen to this is beyond me. The sound effects, yelling and screaming is ridiculous.

  • Inspiring and annoying in equal parts

    I really enjoy hearing the BBQ industry updates and hearing the BBQ journey that people have been on. Often the stories are inspiring.

    I can't stand the irrelevant cigar segments and hope the singing thing never returns. It's too self-indulgent.

    Why broadcast live? Too often things go wrong or the obsession with audio quality gets in the way. Why make problems for yourself and let down the listeners? Record it, edit it and if it's good enough then publish it!
