- Some interesting media news
While this started as a podcast, it is now the audio from a YouTube show. That’s probably where the money is, so I don’t blame Rob. You miss an out on a bit without the video, but it still works as audio only.
Rob’s frequent reminders of how well connected he is and how often he is right does get a little tiring but you can always skip ahead when that happens.
Sadly, it isn’t up to the standard of TV BlackBox.

Rob is annoying & petulant but he has a producers sense of pace and punch. He’s never boring and the podcast is lost without him. Robbo seems genuinely likeable but he uses all the words to say very little. Every point he makes could be distilled into a single sentence - yet the listener has to endure a tortuous word salad that endlessly repeats whatever point he’s reaching for. That he is a media professional is mind boggling. Surely, boring the audience & indulgently rambling isn’t part of the... more
