“Way too contrived, too scripted, too forced. The hosts try way too hard to be funny and just are not. This one was painful to listen to”

“Very unlike Wondery to have such unpolished hosts who say “like” all the time and use that odd interrogative tone even when not asking a question.”

“I just finished the Warren Buffett series. I enjoyed it. Loved that they sprinkled in some personal fun facts along with pertinent information. The hosts keep you wanting for more.

“The information is certainly interesting and it is entertaining. My only real issue is with the delivery, the main speaker does a good job. But his rather goofy side kick asks questions in a kind of goofy teenage girl kind away. So I’ll keep listening I just wish the delivery was a bit more...”Read full review »

“I’ve never heard so many Valley Girl “Likes” from Men!! So annoying! If this was a drinking game I would be passed out! How can speaking like be your profession if you like can’t stop saying this word??”

“The Jony Ive Season mostly feels like book reports mixed with that Family Guy episode where Brian and Stewie ran a radio station. Even the dramatic moments feel fake. Like something on MTV.”

“The 2nd Jony Ive episode is completely inaccurate. The idea for the iPhone came from the iPad. Apple had been working on a tablet for awhile. Steve had the idea of using multitouch on the phone after he saw the list of contacts scrolling. Most Apple needs would know this.
The hosts come off as...”Read full review »

“Remember a few years back when Airbnb was explicitly racist? I do. There’s no secret sauce. It’s just a house rental company with high gloss. It’s all hype. It’s no longer cheap and I’d rather spend money in a hotel with a pool and breakfast.”

“Really enjoyed Season 1. Season 2 seemed to be more opinion based than factually based. Fully understand that BLM and incidents of last summer played into what happened with the bubble, but it still seemed to be more commentary than “reporting”. Season 1 addressed the racial issues AirBnB faced...”Read full review »

“10 minutes in to the 2nd episode and I’m done with this series. The added woke narrative in this series was too much. Maybe I missed it when enjoying the series on Uber. I just wanted to hear what the NBA did, not what the hosts think of the political climate and BLM. Hoping series three is...”Read full review »

“I have no idea who decided to go with the two host informal chat format but it’s a fail for this podcast. It’s unlistenable in my view. I wanted to learn and get insight but instead I’m subjected to these two yakking it up and not doing a great job. Tough listen.”

“I loved this - I was scared the hosts were going to be annoying but they weren’t - high energy with genuine feeling dialogue and banter. My one complaint is that they call South By Southwest South By constantly which is what people do when they want to sound like they are in the know. Cool beans...”Read full review »

“I’m a big fan of podcasts like these I listen to all the others. I do kind of wish that we heard more from early company employees or founders etc. As you tell the story it’s quite nice to hear from people directly as it can sometimes feel like it’s just third-party research”
