  • Two blokes talking over the guest for 90 mins

    Some interesting bits but after several years the hosts still havnt learned to structure an interview, not talk over the guests or know how to edit.

  • Informative Pod

    It could improve the intro music for sure.

    It could be edited down for more accessible listening (40-50 min max).

    But they do often have excellent guests, know their stuff and make an effort to engage and explain.

    Have kept on listening for about two years now so they’re definitely doing some stuff very well!
