Listened For Many Years - No More
Roman has a great show concept and I do find many of his topics quite interesting. Roman’s downfall is due to the fact that he lives in Oakland, California, and so he’s surrounded by far-left political leanings, most of which he seems to have adopted. That’s fine actually, I have no issues with that, but he has let it bleed over into his podcast and I feel like he’s just become a mouthpiece for those left-wing positions. Because Roman lives in an echo-chamber in Oakland, he probably thinks most of the U.S. feels the same way he does, and that’s simply not the case. In fact, he’s probably alienating at least half of his audience when those moments arise, and I quite frankly am just tired of listening to it. If he had stuck to his show and not made it political, then he’d have a winning formula, but those moments of, dare I say “activism” under the guise of a podcast about design is what has me saying, goodbye. I enjoyed the good times, but will not miss the emphasis of left-wing talking points.

I listened for the first time last night and liked it so much I listened to all of them. Roman has a way of describing things that I can see them completely I'm my head.Read full review »
