  • Funny, informative, and smart

    Lots of podcasts get A-List guests, but they’re often framed around marketing questions that get the same old answers. What sets Paul Mecurio apart is that he digs deep into the creative process and humanity of each guest. It’s apparent that his questions are better received and the conversations flow in much more interesting directions. I highly recommend the Inside Out podcast.

  • Dr drew show

    Did anyone else listen to this and think that both Paul and dr drew lost all credibility? Paul was at least asking the right questions and drew dismissed everything as a media hoax. Seems like both should come back on and apologize to the disservice they did the audience with Drew’s advice.
