Fun and Useful, but…
I have been listening to this podcast for almost 2 years and at the beginning it was really helpful with so many useful ideas and so much inspiration for my classes. Marie and Amanda are so chill and knowledgeable and fun to listen to, they are also very organized which helps with taking ideas afterwards and applying them to my own work. However, more and more it seems that anything actionable or helpful is held behind a paywall and now about ⅓ of the podcast time is just spent on advertising their offers. For example, in their latest podcast episode, 186, the actual podcast didn’t start until 14 minutes into it. I completely understand there is a determined need to make this into a successful, profitable company, but I believe it is getting to a point where the enjoyment of listening is being crushed by the desire to sell the trainings — all of which I am sure are useful and worth it. It has sometimes gotten to a point where I get tired of the long-winded ads that I just skip the episode entirely. I am hoping the podcasts can be better structured so the hosts can still inform listeners about their offers, but the primary purpose of the episode is not drowned out.
