Let Mark Talk

“While I've listened to all the episodes, I really struggle to actually enjoy the show. Jake Adams' insistence on forcing the control and flow of the conversation creates a very uncomfortable and unnatural experience.
If Mark says anything that gets off topic, gives too much away from an upcoming point, or just strays ever so slightly outside the intended focus of the episode topic, he gets cut off and corrected. It's extremely controlling and very cringe worthy. It's equivalent to going to dinner with a couple where the husband keeps shutting down the wife because she's speaking out of line (or vice versa).
I get that there's a topic, and it's good to stay focused, but it isn't natural and it isn't conversational. I'm listening to this podcast to hear a discussion, and I don't care if the conversation gets a little off topic or ahead of itself. That's much better than listening to an exercise of dominance and submission in every episode.
And I must point out that I also feel that there's just so much arrogance in Jake's opinions, stances on subjects, and his experience. I love that people get to have their own opinion, and it's ok if I don't agree with it. But I feel as though many of the opinions expressed in the show come from a place of putting down those that have a difference in how they go about things that he doesn't like, such as controllers, feeding all frozen, or sandbeds.
You may be asking why I even listen. I do enjoy the content, experience and points of view. But I just don't like the domineering and arrogance.”Read full review »

“I really enjoy most of the discussions on this podcast… but I can’t help but feel that Mike is a bit behind the times and doesn’t have a lot of modern knowledge in the hobby.”
