“I really enjoyed this podcast when it first started out and even submitted a question in the first year. It was cool to watch Cal work through his ideas in real time with actual situations. But it turns out lots of people have the same problems at work, and as the podcast has grown bigger and bigger, fewer of those submitting questions have any familiarity with Cal’s large body of work. So now it is just he same advice, doled over and over and even the more nuanced strategies that take the podcast beyond his books are becoming old. The worst for me, though, was the addition of Jesse, who is not a co-host. I think Cal really wanted a co-host, not a producer, and he keeps treating Jesse, who has absolutely nothing to say, as though he is one. So it has turned into two guys bro-ing it up and making bad jokes and having running gags (Jesse Skeleton, Name of the Wind, turning it into a baseball podcast). It’s boring. I used to set aside a long dog walk to listen to the latest episode; recently, I noticed that it stopped downloading because I hadn’t listened in so long. So…eh. Listen to it for awhile, but after a year of episodes or so, you’ll have everything you need.”
