Fun and Useful

I don't even work at the moment, being a stay-at-home Mum, but there's still usually something useful to be found in every episode. If nothing else, I enjoy Stever's energy and enthusiasm, and definitely his sense of humour. I imagine if I was actually out in the workplace I'd find this podcast invaluable.

Sexy Stever!

Even if the topic has no relevance to my life, I am always excited to see a new episode has been posted because I find Stever so sexy! His constant referencing of nerd pop culture gold, such as Little Shop of Horrors, is hilarious and right up my alley! Plus he has a sexy voice.

His topics and tips are also great though - with just the right amount of detail, with the occasional helpful free document templates available on his site.

Stever is fantastic, and I wish he was my schmoopy (sadly as I live in Australia it might be a bit difficult)!

Thanks Stever!

I love GIDG's podcast - it is a favourite listen. His strategies for dealing with the things of life and work are really practical. He delivers them in a great manner and style.

GiDG and the GG lead me to some of the other QDT network podcasts. Check them all out today. I have even bought their audio books.

Thanks Stever and Mignon.
