Great guests, topics, and conversations but Jeffrey Zeldman deserves modern audio equipment that doesn’t overlap his poor guest’s thoughts with every breath, paper shuffle, and movement. It’s maddening!

Jeffrey, man, listen to what people say here! Learn how to be a good host, don’t interrupt guests, and for god’s sake record ads separately, don’t do it live! You can paste them later. It’s really hard and funny to listen how you try to read the ad over and over, having trouble with spelling words.

But I don’t think interviewing is a skill he owns :)
Biobaaabi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/19
The host constantly interrupts his guests and even keeps them from getting into interesting content with mundane comments, doesn’t mute himself when typing and you can hear his breathing. Over complementing and sucking up to guests doesn’t make up for being rude. It is really hard to listen to,...Read full review »

Good guests but the host needs to mute his mic more. Could hear him opening stuff, using his mechanical keyboard and printing stuff throughout the episode

One of the very few podcasts that I actually follow. Fan for years. Now I’ll try to do this via the app, too. Thank you Jeffrey for all these episodes!

I've been listening to this podcast every day! I'm a web design student, and Jeffrey and his guests provide endless resources and knowledge to help me in my design journey. I love it! Thank you Jeffrey!Read full review »

Drawing all the substance out of the podcast, I always look forward to listening to the Big Web Show. Granted, the conversations stray a bit from time-to-time, but the quality of the guests and the multitude of topics over the years, the BWS has become a staple in my listening list. If you let...Read full review »

I love the mixture of high profile and down to earth.

As a Digital Marketing Manager who oversees the web team at a large healthcare system, I was very excited for this podcast. Unfortunately, I was so turned off by the host's inability to properly conduct an interview that I unsubscribed and will not be returning.Read full review »

I just started listening three weeks ago. The host has great conversations with people who know what they're talking about. The host has his own set of qualifications that ranks him at the top of Web design. He's also a great conversationalist, so the podcast is entertaining as well.Read full review »

Can’t go wrong with some solid info from Jeffrey. It’s great to hear his opinions and the guests as they cover many web topics. Cheers

I like to listen to this while driving. The host is awesome. They talk about relevant topics. The guests are great. Everyone on the show is well informed.

I like Zeldman.

A great source for many of my projects. It’s given me a lot of ideas as well.
terriantk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/15
He always asks the follow up question I'm having in my head as listening, and does a great job of drilling down to the core life decisions the interviewer made to get to where they're at. Very inspirational. Wish he did more often but I understand how difficult that must be.Read full review »

I don't usually write reviews - but this show is great. It's not afraid to veer off-topic if there's some thing interesting to be said or discussed - and the guests are always very knowledgeable. Gives great insight into different industries and functions of the creative and development processes.

Great content, relevant, humorous and educational. Also updated quite regularly without feeling overwhelmed with episodes to keep up with.

This show provides those in the web development industry with great insight into some of the best minds and contributors on the web. Jeffery Zeldman is a gracious host with a sincere appreciation for what his guests bring to the table. Just watch out for his jokes. Oh, my...what a goof!
vasocreta via · 09/19/13
This podcast has great content for web designers and developers. Zeldman is entertaining without taking over from the guest. The balance of laid back attitude and serious content is spot on. I am a fan and a better designer for listening.

Super podcast when its out, one pitfall is it isn't as regular as it once was. C'mon Zeldman ;)Read full review »

This is an amazingly rich resource for anyone interested in web design. With the podcast format, this is really an education on the go, especially for a newcomer like me.

This is an deeply informative podcast. The first 50 or so episodes are excellent. The quality of the interviews who are with true innovators from very diverse corners of the Web.

Convidados de alto nível que trazem assuntos interessantes que muitas vezes fogem um pouco do âmbito "web", mas até agora não achei que atrapalhou, pelo contrário. O áudio às vezes é um pouco ruim (principalmente nos episódios antigos), mas nada que atrapalhe demais. Para quem se...Read full review »

One of the best web design and development Podcasts available. If I had one complaint, it's that I wish it were more often, but I know it's got to be difficult fitting this in and lining-up some the best guests in the industry. Jeffery Zeldman asks some of the best questions of any...Read full review »

Without doubt the best web related podcast available today. Zeldman and Benjamin compliment each other wonderfully and the guests are top notch. Can't recommend highly enough.Read full review »

Even without the great guests, listening to Zeldman (and sometimes Benjamin) rambling on about web, design and life is both entertaining and educational.
Atle via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 02/28/12
I love his writing, his leadership of the web standards movement and will attend an AEA before I die. But... Podcaster he is not. I thought the show didn't need Dan Benjamin's unbridled butt kissing, but without Benjamin it's a distracted Zeldman fumbling around checking email and...Read full review »

A sweet show with plenty of great ideas exposed, I only wish it was a weekly with video. They seem to have dropped the video feed? I look for a new show every morning, makes my day when it is there waiting. Anything on responsive design is a fav, more Andy Clarke would be my wish for 2012.
Mizu Ki via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/17/12
I recently started a new gig and it requires a long commute. This show and several other 5by5 podcasts have made it to where I actually look forward to and enjoy my drive. Zeldman rules and the guests are always top-notch! 5 stars and then some!!!!!

Jeffrey Zeldman and Dan Benjamin do great job talking about exciting topics, and inviting awesome guests from the web industry. The often go out of track, but this is where the real fun starts.

What a great show! A must for designers and developers alike!

Jeffrey Zeldman needs no lengthy introduction – he’s a reason we can fool around with 3D animations on websites today, in pure CSS.

I love this show. They have some really interesting guests and you always get a slightly different insight into the wide world of web. The only ones I don't enjoy so much are the ones about typography and book publishing. But that's just me!Read full review »
