Customer Reviews
New but solid
Solid audio quality, LauraKBuzz has a lot of experience podcasting and the hosts so far seem interesting, even if I don't know them. Episodes are about 30 minutes long making them good for a commute.
Question answered: It’s a nice podcast.
So I came into this starting with the BrentalFloss episode. (I know there isn’t a lot of episodes so that’s like saying I had a taste when I ate most of the pie) Laura K. Buzz is fantastic at what she does. She took a guy I knew nothing about and shined a light on him that made him super relatable. The madame has a way of putting out quality content. The interviews are a little short for my taste, and her input is very direction lead. (Not surprising since she basically is the back bone of the Podqusition at times) None of that to be taken as a bad thing. What I’m saying is Laura always seems put together and well designed in her approach. I’m looking forward to much more content. Just. Be careful with the crunch. Get some sleep.
