The Rich Roll Podcast

Dedicated longtime listener. Rich is a compassionate and insightful host who is not afraid to ask probing questions or thoughtfully counter his guests. Recent favorites are episodes with Josh and Noah.

The episodes during the last year or so have been hard to listen to. It’s like Rich is trying too hard. Too much talk about the podcast itself. I have been unable to finish one in months. The genuine nature of the podcast has eroded. Instead of interesting dialogue with a guest there is too much self-exposing with Rich always trying to express himself in some piffy trend setting way(virtue signaling, woke...etc). Too much self absorption- note the constant brand logo changes, set changes, show music etc etc. I keep trying because I used to love this podcast, but it is not getting better. Stick to health, Veganism, spirituality, sleep, exercising, meditation. Lectures on society’s ills are boring. Just like the program- don’t lecture- tell your story. Let the guests tell their story. The last great guest you had was Shane Parrish and his podcasts stick to his formula. He’s not branching out past his capabilities. I’m not saying you can’t do this but slow your roll- pun intended. Now we have the Rich Roll coffee table book and a subscription model on the way. All in the spirit of trying to connect with my listeners in a different way? Call it what it is. Soul crushing capitalism. Count me out.

Love the show. Also would love more Roll On shows!

Listening to the Chef Babbit episode - she is amazing! But geez, Rich, talk less, listen more. You talked over her to ‘make your points’ and it was slightly annoying to listen to.
