  • When I listen to a podcast I like it to be very practical, organized and get to the point. They start out talking about the topic but they go off on tangents too much and it's so general that there's no practical information. Spend a lot of time patting each other on the back. Too much fluff not enough content.

  • No practical content. Just recruiters chating
