  • Good podcast but long

    Love the content of this show and would listen to it more but it’s just a bit long. Could easily slim it down to 50-60 mins with some concision in questions and answers

  • Excellent listen.

    Great podcast. My one complaint is Matt’s microphone isn’t the best and it’s difficult to hear what he is saying.

  • More analysis and insights needed

    I’m glad this exists and the enthusiasm takes it so far however it tends to be little more than reading off the scorecards. More analysis, insight, being more opinionated and less vanilla would take this to the next level in terms of engaging listening

  • 2022

    Great pod, just don’t understand why the presenter thinks we don’t know the year. No need to say ‘in 2023’ after every other sentence.
