  • GOOD BUT LONG EPISODES

    Great information and enjoyable but they go on too long on many subjects. The regular podcast is usually a hour plus and their #10MinTalk averages 45 min to over a hour. Tightning up the scripts and a bit less rambling would make this a better show.

  • They're kind of all the same

    Show got boring for me. Episodes are pretty much the same. Also, it would be cool if Ryan says he doesn't know something rather than making stuff up. It's ok if you don't know everything. I promise.
