Wonderful content from wonderful people

I had the wonderful privilege of being a student of Mel’s. She is one the most intelligent, good natured, down-to-earth people I have ever had the good graces to meet. I’m probably a little biased. This is an excellent podcast except for some audio problems, but I suppose that they are doing the best they can with the resources that they have. The three of them combined have a staggering wealth of knowledge and incite. I hope they blow up big, they deserve it.

Audio seems to be much better! Thank you!

There’s A LOT to like about this podcast. The hosts are knowledgeable, the topics are interesting...unfortunately it gets held up by a few things. First, there are three hosts a three COMPLETELY different volumes. One is whispering, one is at a ‘normal’ volume, and the other comes across as yelling in her tin Skype connection in relation the the other three. There’s a large dose of Ummms and Yeahs that are extremely distracting. If those two issues were polished up I’d be happy to give it a ‘5’.

Amazing.

This was my favorite podcast I didn’t know about yet! So much material to binge and get great insight form educated and self aware hosts. It’s refreshing. I hope you guys blow up, this is candy for the brain!
