  • Completely different podcast

    Sadly the concept of the show changed, and it turned from one of the best podcasts out there into a sponsored content show for US-only companies and events. I was giving it the benefit of the doubt, thinking that it’s not possible to so utterly destroy an amazing podcast, but it seems that it is possible.

Fair enou... more

  • One of the best out there

    I’ve been listening to the outside podcast for years, but when Paddy took over, the content went up to the next level. His preparation for each interview shows through in his questions and conversations. His latest interview with John King is one that I’m sure I’ll revisit and share over and over again. Kudos to you!!

  • Such great potential, but alas

    I made the difficult decision to unfollow this show today as I can no longer make it through episodes with the way in which the host interacts with the guests. I used to really like this pod.

    This used to be a top podcast but it’s gone downhill. Paddy O is a terrible host. He makes it all about him instead of the guests
