“I understand the pesky business model, but here, it’s just too much, so it’s difficult to concentrate on the topics. Slash, say, 50% of the ads, and you may have a podcast there.”

“Long time listener who used to love this show, but now it’s a giant ad read (which I get you gotta make money) but the value is gone. 75% ads and 25% content makes it almost unlistenable. RIP Jeff.”

“The guests are often very focused on evangelizing their own software. The attempts to broaden the conversation or get into deeper trade-off discussion that don’t immediately cast the guest’s software in a sales centric light don’t succeed frequently enough to keep this podcast from occasionally...”Read full review »

It needs to go back to its simple technical roots!

“This used to be a great, informative podcast about software engineering. The podcast has now become filled with bizarre rants, weird rap songs and the host has been publishing anti-vax screeds on his blog which can be easily debunked with just basic research/common sense. It’s all quite sad...”Read full review »

“The new host does the whole show in a very robotic way. It seems like he has questions pre-recorded and is just playing them to the guest (the same applies to the responses provided by the guests) so there’s no spontaneity in the whole process like it used to be with the previous host... It feels...”Read full review »

Seems he is mad because his post got taken...”Read full review »

“Sometimes the host cuts guests off and goes off on complete tangents and uses jargon words that may not be familiar to the audience. This is not very inclusive. He can instead pause and give some context and let the speakers complete their sentences.”
