  • Hit and miss

    Shane has a couple of excellent interviews in the midst of a lot of less than insightful content. If I’m really honest, I’m not sure that the character dissection episodes really land that well. It’s difficult to commit to the episodes as a listener as I find them hard work. I much prefer the actual interviews with guests. He should probably return to that form of content to be honest.

  • Simply my Favorite Pod

    Not sure what all the recent review hate is about I think Shane’s pod has on improved over time. I find Shane to be great interviewer and super easy to listen to which gets coupled nicely with the right guest. Not every episode is my topic of choice, I dont find interest in every guest but geez when is that ever the case with anything? My only wish is that episode releases were on more consistent schedule.

    Enjoyed the story and the lessons.

    AI voice on the Firestone podcast sounds just like you…until he doesn’t take a moment to breathe! Might introduce the pause half second- for impact..
