Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 8 ratings
  • Concise, Relevant, and Humorous

    JAG does a great job of taking a topic and putting a good dialogue out that holds your attention, gives you salient points and insights while dropping a few touches of humor.

    I find myself rolling thru 3 or 4 pod casts before I realize, it was 3 or 4 podcasts!

    At 3-6 minutes each, they are quicker than this review and definitely more entertaining!
