I've been listening to this podcast every day! I'm a web design student, and Jeffrey and his guests provide endless resources and knowledge to help me in my design journey. I love it! Thank you Jeffrey!
Love but Jeffrey needs an automute mic

Great guests, topics, and conversations but Jeffrey Zeldman deserves modern audio equipment that doesn’t overlap his poor guest’s thoughts with every breath, paper shuffle, and movement. It’s maddening!
That’s a shame, Jeffrey!

Jeffrey, man, listen to what people say here! Learn how to be a good host, don’t interrupt guests, and for god’s sake record ads separately, don’t do it live! You can paste them later. It’s really hard and funny to listen how you try to read the ad over and over, having trouble with spelling words.
Zeldman is great but

But I don’t think interviewing is a skill he owns :)
Guests are good, host is irritating

The host constantly interrupts his guests and even keeps them from getting into interesting content with mundane comments, doesn’t mute himself when typing and you can hear his breathing. Over complementing and sucking up to guests doesn’t make up for being rude. It is really hard to listen to, even when I want the content.
Mute the mic when you’re not talking

Good guests but the host needs to mute his mic more. Could hear him opening stuff, using his mechanical keyboard and printing stuff throughout the episode
Always a Great Listen

Drawing all the substance out of the podcast, I always look forward to listening to the Big Web Show. Granted, the conversations stray a bit from time-to-time, but the quality of the guests and the multitude of topics over the years, the BWS has become a staple in my listening list. If you let the little things bother you and you focus on the negative, you will never hear the conversation about the topics covered and will be focused on the wrong thing. I didn't are for the background noise or the gratuitous ogling in the earlier episode, but I instead turned my attention and focus to listening for the substance in the topics and conversation the episodes were on and drew great insight and inspiration from those guests.
Informative & Entertaining

I just started listening three weeks ago. The host has great conversations with people who know what they're talking about. The host has his own set of qualifications that ranks him at the top of Web design. He's also a great conversationalist, so the podcast is entertaining as well.
New Host Please

As a Digital Marketing Manager who oversees the web team at a large healthcare system, I was very excited for this podcast. Unfortunately, I was so turned off by the host's inability to properly conduct an interview that I unsubscribed and will not be returning.
Staple

Can’t go wrong with some solid info from Jeffrey. It’s great to hear his opinions and the guests as they cover many web topics. Cheers
