Customer Reviews
Informative, Fun Listen!
Great podcast! Love the hosts, especially Sara!
Good Info, Tough Listen
This podcast generally provides good information. As a water nerd myself, I appreciate it. However, to be honest, it is often difficult to listen to a whole episode, even tough they are short. I often zone out when listening in a way I don’t with other podcasts. That is, it can be a very dry, tough listen. A big part of it is that it normally sounds like everyone is reading a script for the second time, or at times, a reading from a heavily-edited (if well written) memo that’s been circulated around the office email for several days. People just don’t talk like that in real life. The podcast would be far better if they just let people have an actual, unscripted conversation. That would be more engaging and, perhaps, provide more information than you could get from reading their websites.
