Love this podcast!

Absolutely one of my favorite podcasts out there. Both informative and fun to listen to. Dan and Alex bring unique perspectives to the conversation, which makes them a great team.
Keep it up!! Always looking forward to Wednesdays :)

Starting to slip

Guys, I loved your podcast when it came out. I thought you were working towards finding a good balance between news, banter and Q&A. This is a winning formula, at least in my mind.

But over the last couple of episodes it feels that the quality is starting to slip. You don’t come across well prepared and so you rely a lot on banter. It’s nice as a complement to the show, but not when it takes over the show. You had a couple of episodes where you just chatted and then went straight to Q&A. Because Dan has his channels, listening to his personal travels on the podcast for an hour doesn’t seem like a great format. We can watch this on his YouTube channels. Also, I was pretty sure that Alex was eating on the previous week’s episode. It came across in a fairly obvious way mid-episode and honestly it felt like he was phoning it in.

Guys, you have the potential to make this podcast into a great media product that could command some decent sponsorship dollars. But you need to return back to feeling out that formula of balance and not veer into an unprofessional podcaster territory. I hope you can take this feedback in stride and not be offended by it.
