“Love the content but as soon as he starts clicking his pen multiple times per minute it gets so distracting I have to stop listening. Only made it 10 minutes in to any episode so far. Just put the pen down man!”

“Great podcast. Lots of variety and knowledgeable guests. Not a bunch of drunks boasting and telling inside jokes. Very helpful and informative. I began listening when I was on my 4th brew and every batch since has been influenced by something I heard here. Love it!”

“I stumbled across this podcast a couple of years ago having decided to buy the beer smith license. I’m now enjoying going back to the start to listen to all the various speakers who are all knowledgeable. I’ve learnt a lot and my brewing has definitely improved!”

“Anyone who suffers from mesophonia will be annoyed by Brad’s penchant for speaking and then sniffing immediately afterwards. Maybe a breath intake, a tic or a runny nose but it endures throughout the series.”

“Generally really nice topics and host/guests are very knowledgeable. However, Brad talks over his hosts a lot and for whatever reason, I find it extremely annoying. Let your guests speak.”

“Brad Smith is a beer and brewing guru with a very professional podcast. I think this may be the best beer podcast going although Brülosophy is great too. I have learned much from listening to Brad. He has really knowledgeable guests, although sometimes I wonder if Brad knows the topic better...”Read full review »

“I don't feel like Brad is actively involved in his own interviews. Brad will ask his guest a question, and within the answer, his guest will also answer the next question. But, it doesn't register with Brad, and he asks the question anyway. It's like he has a set list of questions...”Read full review »

“Brad puts out great information on his cast, I enjoy it. Three things I think would really improve the cast:
some post-editing to remove the throat clearing and odd pauses.
Stop talking over your guests
Maybe a 5 minute segment on the actual software: tips, tricks, how to’s, etc.”

“This is a no nonsense podcast that has great information and delivers it effectively.

If your time is worth anything to you, this is...”Read full review »

He has a relaxed style and allows the guest to take the floor. I live in the remote Scottish Highlands but this opens a wonderful window into the US...”Read full review »

“I have listened to nearly all of the shows over the past 2-3 years and never miss a new episode. With a straight laced personality, Brad’s show is more of an informative and educational format than it is entertaining. He gets down to business quickly with his guests and there is very little idle...”Read full review »

“Have you heard the normal stories of new brewers having to dump a batch of hard earned beer because it failed in one way or another. I haven't always made great beer (I am 7 batches in to my all - grain career) but it is always solid and drinkable. So much information from Brad! Thanks.”Read full review »

“Brad Smith consistently brings mature and thorough discussions on a variety of industry and home brewing topics. He avoids the repetitiveness of other home-brewing or beer industry podcast formats and more importantly, he avoids the sophomoric slant of many of those other podcasts.”

“Good information. Great beer program, which I use often. However the podcast is very hard to listen to mainly die to how consistently the host interrupts the guest when they are speaking. If that could change I could continue listening. Maybe just a pet peeve of mine, so give it a try for yourself.”
