“Those long drawn out story line interview style commercials. Just not worth the mental health to listen to all the ad breaks”

“Really interesting story. Good research. Just made average as it’s padded out so heavily by repeatedly telling the listener every five minutes that you are listening to the podcast and then giving a recap of the previous 5 minutes.”

“It's just all advertisements and not much content. I'm realizing now Pushkin isn't about story it's about pushing as many ads as possible until I break down. Well you broke me, I'm not lsiteing anymore.”Read full review »

“Season 1 was excellent. Season 2 failed to engage. Narrative was off and sometimes defied credulity. Too much acting”

“The topic is extremely interesting and captivating. But, it jumps around different unrelated podcasts and it’s difficult to keep track of the content. The narrator needs to listen to his podcasts and keep it on topic. These are good, but muddled!”

“A good investigation, well told, but it’s a 90-minute story stretched and padded to make eight under-30 min eps — with terrible gaps in the narrative due to issues with the ads stopping minutes into the next narrative, dropping all the key facts — it just re-starts mid-sentence. Maybe they’ve...”Read full review »

“I can’t take the digital background sound effects. They don’t add to the story. It’s not like traffic sounds during an interview, it just annoying digital sounds that distract from the storytelling.
Had to stop listening.”

“Great podcast super fascinating, but it can be hard to follow, because the podcast will only run 15 mins then they will give you a sneak peak of another podcast for 45 mins. Beyond that there is a ridiculous amount of ads. Once I finish this podcast, it will probably be my last Pushkin pod,...”Read full review »

“Half of each episode is given over to an overrated musician. I couldn’t believe it when they started to play the podcast of him talking…….how incredibly stupid to force a topic on your listeners that aren’t in the slightest interested in some pop artist from the 60s……!!!! I had to forward that...”Read full review »

“While i have enjoyed the first season of this podcast, season 2 surprised me with an investigation of the murder of an MEK TERRORIST on Dutch soil. Mohammad-Reza Kolahi was responsible for an explosion that killed 70 persons in Iran. The narrator acknowledges the man was a TERRORIST, and then...”Read full review »

“I like the topics a lot and will probably finish listening to the second season. Probably, not definitely because there is way too much ad time in each episode. And now there’s a 3 min ad formatted like an interview that sounds like it’s part of the podcast. This ruins an otherwise good show”

“Others have already lamented the repetitive ads. But on the episode “ties with Tehran”, your editing was sooo sloppy I got a headache and had to put it down. The beginning of every other sentence was cut off so you barely know what they’re talking about! Seriously, hire a new editor. This was an...”Read full review »

“Surprisingly sensationalist and a little breathlessly in awe of its criminal subjects due, I suppose, to their wealth. Was “Riches beyond his wildest dreams,” necessary?
Has constant background music, as if the narrative cannot exist on its own merits.”
