“After reading the two most recent reviews (which gave the show one star), I felt compelled to leave a review of my own.
I’ve been a listener for over a year now, and I’ve tuned into many episodes. If a new listener’s takeaway is that the host has a point of view, then that is pretty sad. Everyone has a point of view, and I’ve never found Darren to be unprofessional or disrespectful. He really seems like an honest, open guy who loves to educate people about his profession. It’s not a platform he uses to preach his viewpoints, but if he discusses a controversial subject once in awhile, big deal! We are adults and should be able to handle a simple disagreement. Instead, these people probably heard half an episode, got emotional over his opinion, and now will be missing out on a plethora of valuable information.
Have we reached a point we will only subscribe to a podcast if we are in 100% agreement with the host on his personal opinions? Or, do you feel that the host should censor himself in case he might offend anyone? He shouldn’t feel free to express himself on his own show? Just try it out for yourself and make up your own mind.
PS Keep up the great work, Darren! I’m not in the industry but I really enjoy this show.”
