Joe-Lennox ,

Good topics, horrible speaker

The topics are really good, thus a bit superficial. There are tech SEO, OnPage & offpage topics. Sorry, but the speakers are horrible. The humour feels obligated and they often sound really bored.

But still good podcast for getting more into and stay up2date in SEO.
