Customer Reviews
Great listening
Just stopped long enough to listen and an hooked. Thanks for the intelligence.
Could be great but Lex talks too fast.
I want to love this podcast but Lex is talking a mile a minute. The first time I listened I thought I had my playback speed settings too high. Sounds a bit crazy but after a few minutes it actually became stressful to listen.
Slow down, relax, and this would be awesome!
Really helpful
I have listened to about 90% of The Wolf Den archive, all the way from the early days of Jeff's single minded, no-BS, let's talk about the dollars approach through Adam's first forays through his email contacts and then segwaying to Earwolf hosts, and now to Chris and Lexi's easy going walk through the underpinnings of an evolving industry. Frankly, I think Jeff was incredible. The determination to make it a business was just amazing. I took a lot from that, just as an attitude. Adam brought out some good stuff when he was fully engaged. Chris and Lexi I respect a ton, both are super smart and super quick, and they know what they are doing all the way across the board. But frankly, I think the interviews are strongest when one of them is on vacation. The light hearted banter is mostly lost on me. When it is one on one with the guest, the conversation usually goes deeper. I mean that for either host. To each their own, of course. I wouldn't mind if the show these days ran 10 minutes longer, most times. There are usually some potential questions that don't get addressed. My two takeaways are: 1) Basically Gimlet's StartUp took the idea of The Wolf Den and packaged it much better, which is a totally key realization to make about their relative success and 2) Something must be going on with voice filters, because no one's voice on the show seems to match up with the pictures that you see on the web of these same people. Men's voices seem extra deep, women's voices higher. Also, 3) It is amazing how small of a twitter audience some of these major podcast players have. A big time podcast wizard is pulling in like a thousand twitter followers. That almost defies belief, but it is a noticeable pattern. I have learned a ton from this show and I appreciate it as a valuable resource. Thank you.
