  • It’s all about Matt.

    I really like the podcast and Scott or Ashley are great hosts but I’m done listening to Matt. He is quite knowledgeable and experienced but he won’t shut up and let his guests talk. He constantly interrupts and talks over them. Not a good interviewer.

  • After all these years.

    You guys have been doing these podcasts for years and still have not figured out audio. Put in some earbuds and listen to your shows. One person you can barely hear while you can hear every grunt or sigh Scott makes. It makes it very hard to listen to.
