Appreciate the Effort; Could Use Editing

“I was just introduced to this podcast and I've listened to the first Caroline Calloway episode. I enjoy the way the presenter speaks and overall, the way Calloway's story is told is engaging.
That said, the episode is about 45 minutes long, and the story of Calloway didn't even start until after the 10-minute mark, following an introduction, promotions, more teasers, and more ads. By the time the story did begin, I found myself frustrated in the way I get with online recipes or infomercial-y clickbait sales pitches that lure you in with the promise of something interesting and 10 minutes later have not told you anything about it, just a lot of sales-y chatter.
I understand that this podcast is a commercial endeavor and so the ads are a given, but I do think the host and producers could lose much if not most of the introductory chatter and just cut to the story itself. I do plan to listen to the part-two episode of Calloway's story, but I'm anticipating skipping over the first 10-15 minutes to get to the story part and I do wonder whether the story couldn't have just been a single episode if the unnecessary filler talk were cut out. As a listener, I am coming for the story itself and personally, I don't get much from all the lead-ins, being told over and over that everyone knows the story already and about what a scandal it was.”Read full review »

“The missing pages episode on Dan Mallory opened my eyes to how book publishing works. It was also surprising and disappointing in how Mallory manipulated his way to the heights of the writing profession and has managed to stay there. With the Untold Story there’s a window into the unintended...”Read full review »
