Overwhelming ads, underwhelming content
This is a good concept for a podcast! I burn through podcasts like crazy at work so I’m always happy to find a cool new one. Unfortunately, after listening to about 5 episodes I think I’m done. I appreciate the work that goes into each in terms of finding people to interview for the show, but other than that there doesn’t seem to be a lot of research or depth in the subjects. It kind of feels like each could be condensed into a couple minutes of content but instead a simple and surface level subject is stretched thin for a half hour. For example, the episode on giving up a troublesome dog amounted to “it’s not shameful to give up your dog if it is overwhelming your entire life”. They didn’t go any deeper than that. Not to mention almost a third of the episode is ads :( I think this is hilighted in the way the ads are structured, especially at the beginning. It’s something like 1 min of ads, 5 mins introduction, then 2 minutes of ads. I understand the need to profit for the work out in, but this is over the top and overwhelming. This podcast has a great foundation and it’s cool to hear from experts. At the same time I feel it needs more work to be worthwhile.

I loved your episode on anxiety - it hit home. What I like about the podcast is the follow up after the caller implements the advice given. Nowadays we rarely hear about the rest of the story. The only episode I didn’t like was the how to rob a bank - really? I stopped listening to it and didn’t...Read full review »
