Customer Reviews
Informative & slick
A speedy way to get right up to speed on any given subject.
More adverts than podcast
Content is marred by constant advert interruption. Best to find another channel for this content.
Great pod
Really interesting and well thought out podcast. Rare to find a podcast this length which is this good. Nimo also has a really great voice, very engaging.
