Customer Reviews
Great Dialogue
Overall, awesome podcast. Did my undergrad in ministry and looking forward to a potential masters and it’s refreshing to hear great conversations on theology and to stay engaged on current topics that I otherwise do not get to hear since currently not at university. Great job and keep it up!
Great Podcast
Brandon asks excellent questions and is a very good interviewer. He has an inviting posture that creates good dialogue even when the guests disagree on an issue. Also thanks for introducing me to nobigdyl.
Too much banter at the beginning of each podcast
Your topics are generally very good and helpful, but I really could do without 10 minutes of gratuitous banter and discussion of your favorite sports teams, etc., that goes on for way too long at the beginning of episodes. There’s nothing wrong with having a few minutes of friendly conversation to introduce your guest and orient your audience to the day’s topic, but the rest is unnecessary and probably a turn-off for at least a portion of your potential audience that is otherwise interested in the theological content. I do appreciate what you’re doing with the latter.
