  • One of the very best shows on podcasting 🏆

    I've been following Aaron and his work for a long time, and while I'd always admired his work, I'm ashamed to admit that I'd never actually listened to his show until recently.

  • Lot of Fluff, little useful info.

    This is not a how to podcast. I listened to half of the first 50 podcasts and it’s 80% fluff and very little actual info. The podcast had no direction, heard about “show notes” for hours before ever mentioning how to upload a podcast or what site to host it on. No one cares about notes. It’s clear to me he made this podcast for “the community” he mentions every 10 minutes, and constantly mentioning of some kid named Shawn West that people outside the community don’t know. I’ve googled his name w... more

  • Gold

    Sometimes, the algorithm gods recommend the right channel at the right time. I was looking for Logic Pro X tips and discovered Aaron’s YouTube channel which also led me here. I feel like I struck gold, and really happy to find Aaron sharing his knowledge.
