  • Great

    I’ve only listened to one episode so maybe a bit premature to rate it yet but I thought it was great anyway.

    The hosts didn’t interrupt the guest or talk over them. The interactions were thoughtful. The pace of the speech was not so frantic that I couldn’t keep up. It didn’t feel like ‘making content’. It didn’t feel like banter for the sake of showing we’re all jolly lads.

    I found it ticked the boxes in looking for in a brewing based podcast. Good job.

For me they hit the sweet spot between c... more
