Customer Reviews
Decent but really weak on actual issues
This podcast is really solid in having reporters and guests that don’t use the word “like” continually in their delivery This alone should give them subscription status because their discussion is clean and clear!
The topics shift - great
Skip the shows where the title doesn’t seem right except understand you might screw yourself on a great discussion.
Overall: Unexpectedly Irrelevantly Mesmerizing
Lee
It is really fun to listen to all the different types of podcast and learn different things. They say and talk about on the podcast.
Love the insights
I love that they take one business topic and break it down to explain what happened and then add the implications for what comes next.
