Kundenrezensionen
Inspiring, insightful, relevant with a call to action
I absolutely admire Adam’s work and the podcast. It’s been extremely valuable for me personally - I find it energising, eye-opening, highly applicable with key takeaways that can be applied in my work life. I can’t wait for the next season!
Blurred lines between advertising and regular content
I’d give this podcast five stars if it wasn’t for the way Adam Grant presents his advertisers.
Yes, the topics he pics up are of high value, the podcast is extremely well sine and he by all means Adam appears to be a person of trust. Therefore its even more disturbing and unsettling the way the ad breaks are presented:
first theres an intro where Adam mentions that he chose the advertisers himself (a practice i find highly dubious as it allows for more trust transfer between the adam and the advertiser).
Second the advertisement is conducted in the same format and fashion as the regular podcast episode. (It tells a touching story of a latinamerican couple that runs a coffee spot and runs inti problems. Those problems are then solved by super generous Morgan Stanley workers.) That contrasts strongly with other podcast ads where there is a clear difference in how the two parts are presented (for instance a signature background music)
Thirdly and lastly I’m utterly disturbed by the said ad client himself: the highly controversial company Morgan Stanley.
So the podcast is not only undermining the trust of dedicated listeners but is also involved in whitewashing.
Great potential, but need refining
I just listened to the first episode, on criticism. It's a great idea and concept but I feel there is too much music, too many interruptions in the flow of the discussion and thoughts. It feels more like an entertaining listening rather than a podcast on self development, which it may be the case in the head of the producers. Anyway, I keel listening to see if it improves and will be ready to re-rate
